I purchased a new Uniden SDS200 scanner and updated the firmware successfully.
I programmed the 2 systems using ARC536Basic, imported both systems data directly from files in radio reference.
The first system: Ann Arbor City using the Jackson Avenue site, I only brought over 3 analog FD and 2 analog PD talk groups The scanner does not decode voice talk groups. Using the diagnostics screen with 3 vertical bar graphs I see strong signal on the left bar graph but the middle bar graph is not decoding the control channels. Anyone have any ideas on what I have missed and why the scanner is not decoding the control channels?
The second system is University of Michigan Ann Arbor: On this system I imported from radio reference the simulcast site with 3 control channels and a bunch of analog DPSS talk groups. The only talk group the radio decodes is 61520 DPSS Primary, I have not heard a word on the car/car or event talk groups nor have I heard any patrol car interaction with dispatch. Using the same diagnostics screen, I have 3 solid bar graphs, so I am assuming the scanner can track the trunk system but I'm only getting the dispatch side makes me wonder if the patrolmen are encrypted or again I have missed something in programming.
Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated I am not from the area so I am not familiar with either system, I'm relying upon the radio reference database import.
