I have a BCD 536 with DMR but I'm in an area where 95% of police, Fire and government are full-time encrypted.
I have the Ham Repeaters, Forest Service and a few other things programmed but I’d like to discover more activity in my area.
I’m seeing lots of DMR activity on the scanner that is not in the database. Some of it I can receive but some has full scale signal but no audio.
I'm hoping someone help me a little as I'd like to eventually share what I've found with others including Radio Reference.
My question is this:
I have found several channels that have DMR activity with CAP showing on the display, as I see the signal meter at full scale I hear no voice at all.
I’ve programed them in the scanner I using ID “search” to on and Color Code search to on as well.
Are there any other “wildcard” parameters I am missing to allow audio to come through then the ID search and CC search parameters I've turned on?
For the purpose of hearing some voice --- does it matter how I program in the scanner MOTOtrbo, Conventional, One Frequency DMR - just to hear some voice traffic?
I know I will eventually need the LCN numbers as well but is LCN necessary to at least hear a little audio on the CAP system signal that shows up on the display of the BCD536?
Any assistance appreciated
