I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the amateur radio section as I'm using a commercial radio, however, it's being used on an amateur network. The network in question here is the NI4CE network here in Florida. I've had my NX 5000 and have been using it on the NI4CE network now for about two years. As of recently I've been having issues while scanning. What's happening is while scanning, the radio is picking up carrier on the repeater, however, looking at the screen, the wrong talk group is being displayed and the speaker is not unmuting. I've experienced this issue both with and without a priority channel selected.
Example:
Another radio on the network transmits into "repeater site 1" on TG 1201, my radio is scanning and picks up carrier on my repeater "repeater site 2," scan pauses and the screen shows "repeater site 2 TG 1" and the speaker does not unmute. TG 1 is the talk group for the single repeater and is not networked. TG 1 is also in my scan list and therefore the speaker should unmute if were actually traffic on that talk group. Occasionally everything will exactly as it should, however, the majority of the time the above condition is occurring and with all groups, not just "1201." It would appear as though the network is frequently misrouting calls and dropping (voice?) data, and that there is no issue with the radio, however, I'm not 100% certain. Furthermore, there appears to be issues with dropped calls as even with scan off and the radio set to the correct TG I'm expecting to receive a call on, I'm never receiving ~10% of calls and vice versus.
Notes:
> The code plug being used worked as advertised in the past.
> I have gone through this plug with a fine toothed comb and verified multiple times that all talk groups are programmed, named, and assigned correctly
Any help on resolving this would be much appreciated.
