From the pic it looks like RSSI is in the -90's or so. If the signal stays there you should get decent decode. Is it fluctuating down into the -100's? If so, that's when you're going to have problems with decode.

When it’s the code in the system, it skip the data channel and it skips the transmission and the data

Not sure what you're saying. You want the RSSI indicator to be above -95, -85 on up is ideal.

Is there a way to fix that plus I’m trying to say when I see the data signal on there it shows and it doesn’t show, so what’s that mean?

Think of it as a network (which it is) - kind of like WIFI - and you have good enough signal strength that you should be connected. What are you trying to listen to, but are not hearing?

So you are hearing nothing at all - even with decent signal bars? Does the scanner pickup anything on any system? Does the display show talkgroup activity but you hear no audio?

It’s shows data then no data other systems are fine like Philly and Camden county ems and fire and Burlington county nj fire and ems but ncis njsp I hear something but the data on the ncis njsp system skips the data signal

Knowing your area if you're anywhere along Lenola Road there are a lot of cell tower arrays between the Moorestown Mall area and the Arbors Apartments. So anywhere in that zone and you're liable to get some cell site interference, particularly on 700mhz. Camden is also 700mhz but they are a strong system just about 3 or 4 miles away. For NJICS Berlin youre having to pick up a little further away in Camden and so Im wondering if thats interference showing up. If you were to scan only the NJICS system with your SDS100 and hold on a channel does the DATA icon tend to go away for more than 1 second at a time and then come back? Have you gotten any traffic on the system? If so is it clear or broken up?

I've been following this conversation and just recently I was able to get the NJSP working on my SDS200. I currently have the program setup to receive from Berlin and Cumberland County Simulcast with good results. I'm located in Upper Pittsgrove near Rt 55 and Rt 40 and have no issues now. If you would like me to send you the Sentinel file for NJICS that I'm using let me know and I'll do my best to export it to you joey123?
