GRE PSR-500, Oakland CA
Purchased GRE 500 Scanner in Dec., preprogrammed by scannermaster for Alameda Co, to pick up rebanded Oakland,CA PD and Fire.
Worked fine for a month, then Oakland P25 police/fire stopped receiving. Noted that the "T" was no longer appearing on screen.
Purchased Blu-Tel Arc 500 software and subscription to Radio Reference to reload.
While we were buying software, we noted that firmware was updated to V2.1, on 1/12/ 2012. We installed and this fixed the problem for a week. Went out again last week.
We downloaded and saved scanner data to a file. We downloaded our local agencies to a new file using Arc 500 and RR and uploaded that file to the scanner. That did not fix the P25 problem. We tried reloading the firmware update; no luck. We uploaded the original install file; no luck.
Any thoughts on what might be causing us to lose our trunked digital P25 stations? As I mentioned, it seems that a T appears on the screen when they are working and does not appear when they are not.
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I'm new to digital.
