Help reception problems

[chrisZent90]

I have all the Primary and secondary frequencies I still don't get any thing on my uniden bcd325p2

6927 | 1b0f | D KanwhaCo 911 Kanawha County 911

Do you get any other talk groups from that system?

 

[tvengr]

6927 is a statewide emergency ops talkgroup which most likely is rarely used. You need to scroll down to the Kanawha Co talkgroups further down in the database. West Virginia Statewide Interoperability Radio Network (SIRN) Trunking System, Statewide, West Virginia - Scanner Frequencies (radioreference.com) You will see fire, EMS, law enforcement, and public works talkgroups for the county. What city are you near to? There are 6 sites on the SIRN system for Kanawha Co. Are you using programming software?

put up an outdoor antenna, your reception will improve dramatically.

Which site(s) do you have programmed in? There are 6 listed for Kanawha County. Perhaps the talkgroup isn't carried on the site(s) you're listening to or is rarely used? Maybe it went encrypted but no one noticed/reported the change? Numerous possibilities. Are you able to hear any other talkgroup carried on the system?

Yes

 

[jtwalker]

just a suggestion, but you might want to re-read every question you were asked above and answer each of these thoroughly.

I have all of them

Are you within range of all of them? There may lie your problem. It is suggested to only scan one site at a time (site hold). Preferably the one closest geographically to you. Again, are you able to pick up any other talkgroup on the system??

 

[wtp]

if you have all the sites in the radio will take 10 seconds to get back to any of them.
there is a "housekeeping" time of 2 seconds for any trunk system.

Yes I'm in range

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it is extremely unlikely you are within range of 6 sites in the same system. That means the system architect is wasting their coverage area by having 6 site covering one area.

 

[wtp]

6 trunked sites and some conventional stuff running will slow the radio down.

and i ask again...what is the squelch set at, 2 is good at some point higher you will not hear anything.

In mountainous areas, which West Virginia is, you can easily have 6 sites within range. Especially if you live in a valley region. I live in such an area in Colorado I am in range of 11 sites and I am only using the stock sds200 back-of-radio antenna.

I monitor an industrial communication system and can receive at least 5 sites reliability, and my area is near the coastal plain. Hilly at best. It depends on your antenna/preamp setup, geographic makeup of the land, etc. The end user might be only operating on one site but it doesn't mean us geeks with scanners can't pull in other sites

squelch set at 2 ??

id scan or id search scrolling across the screen ?

Delay time 2sec
Priority id scan off
I'd scan
Set audio agc On
Set Attenuator off
Digital waiting 400ms did not mess with it
P25 threshold Auto
Disp. Unit is off

How can I set the squelch or check it on the uniden bcd325p2
