Has anyone been able to successfully monitor Hunters on a Uniden scanner yet, or is it not possible for it to track the DMR Tier III system?
Yeah I’ve been picking them up on the Marcus communication I will PM you tomorrow

They are on the Marcus hdn system

I can program the system, but the only way I get any audio is if I hit hold on the frequencies that happen to be in use and it does tell me what talk group is currently active. When I hit scan, it receives nothing. I think maybe because I don't have the correct LCN's or maybe the frequency order is wrong? I tried everything mentioned from everyone's posts more then once. I believe there's a Uniden issue with this system and I was curious if anyone had figured it out or hopefully had the correct LCN's. Thanks

Go into the trunk site info. Make the LCNs 0 (search ) and you’ll get traffic.

I tried that and it doesn't work. The only way I get audio is if I press hold during the scan and manually go through the frequencies. It will only then display the active TG and color code or with a TG programmed, it will display my custom TG name. While scanning in search mode it doesn't stop on any active frequencies or display any talk groups. Same with the talk groups programmed without search mode. During scanning (with preprogrammed TG's or searching), for what ever reason it just doesn't recognize the talk groups. Maybe it's a question for Uniden?

I have HDN going on my sds100 with no issues. Did you import the system from RR and then make modifications? That's what I did
Import > change ALL LCNs from there number to 0 for every site and I get audio across the sites that I'm able to hit.
Edit1: here's a picture showing no site/channel hold Screenshot Make sure you have ID Search enables(FN + YES)

I've been a member of this site since 2003, but never a premium subscriber, which is needed for downloading.
Are you sure you scanner is actually scanning all the voice channels? It may just be hitting the first one with the LCN's set to zero. And since the conversations tend to stay on the same channel until finished, you wouldn't notice. I've found with my BCD996P2 if I program the control channel and one voice channel, with the LCN's at zero, the scanner will actually track and scan talk groups correctly. If I add a second frequency, it never stops scanning. This maybe because more then one frequency would require the correct LCN's for the scanner to track the system? Also if I remove the control channel and just leave the voice, it receives nothing. The only work around I could come up with was to create three individual sites with each voice channel individually, along with the control frequency in all three. If you turn delay on and scan with all three sites, it does work fairly well. Especially since conversations don't hop around different voice channels. It's kind of a cumbersome way of doing it, but until someone has a means of finding the LCN's (if that is the issue), it works for now.
I logged a few hits overnight last night from just outside Philly, PA when conditions were favorable from 464.2375 CC4 which I determined to be from Site 1.5 on Marcus Spectrum Holdings (I see it in Scan New England, nothing in the RRDB to corroborate it) Not sure if this was Hunters Ambulance or another service. Dispatcher gave an address on Lincoln Street in Meriden, CT for an unresponsive subject. Also mentioned being held back in the ambulance bay by Life Star loading a patient. Two TGIDs logged: 6685973 & 6689676. Will program the rest of the site into my 536HP to see if I get any more hits overnight tonight...
Hunters covers Meriden so certainly was them.
