i cant get anything on scanner in kansas as of last month

[robertwbob]

was able to hear columbus,girard,and pittsburg police,fire and ambulance on all my scanners. have they went into encryped or what?
i live about 25 miles from pittsburg in missouri

I hear them al the time - antenna issue?

did the squelch get changed somehow ?
i had a 396T go from 2 to 15 at one point by itself.
it was in my pocket, but you have to push on the top knob and rotate it,
i don't think it could do that in a pocket, and it never happened again.

No .its the analog frequincys.
I set open scan to cover just the general coverage numbers high and low limit search and 2 hours not a peep.
Today did same on another scanner and its quiet as i type this.same antennas same radios pick up rail road and dade,lawrence and jasper county when they have to talk to dade and lawrence countys just fine

 

[wbloss]

do you get anything on the weather freqs?

 

[RMason]

No .its the analog frequincys.

Is it possible that they have migrated from the analog frequencies to the trunked systems? What scanner do you have? Is it capable of receiving P25 systems? Have you tried:

Kansas Statewide Interoperable Communication System (KSICS) Trunking System, Statewide, Kansas

Same thing happened to me. I woke up one morning and everything was different.

If your scanners are all connected to a common antenna, you most likely have an antenna problem.

not antennas, everything works fine. i shut all down when storm came through last nite. rehooked all of them and the pro 197 had cherokee county on it. another note several r,r, frqs were not coming in and the pro 166 and the oddball uniden started showing activity on r.r.
maybe they needed a time out?
wally bloss they might need more blue berry muffins? you and i only know that 1

another thing could be involved. the wind towers been on and off lately. yesterday was off most of the day and when they mess with them my 2 meter radios either work better or terrible. 1 is just east of my house too

Did the loss of signal just start with the storm? One of the towers may have taken a lightning strike. It could be their problem.
