Are you search holding or programmed as conventional? It is a control channel it passes data not audio.
set it up as a P25 site as control channel in a trunking system

WV SIRN: West Virginia Statewide Interoperable Radio Network Trunking System, Statewide, West Virginia that is the system i have it put in the same way as it is there. in sentinel from the database. on dsdplus i get static and i have heard traffic a couple times but it was just a few words . it shows group calls so idk when other channels have group calls there is always traffic
For reference, it looks like you are receiving the Mountain Top site in Mingo County on the WV SIRN system:
WV SIRN: West Virginia Statewide Interoperable Radio Network Site: Mountain View
WV SIRN: West Virginia Statewide Interoperable Radio Network Site: Mountain View Details

System: BEE00.170 (WV SIRN)
Site: 2.19 (Mountain Top - Mingo County, WV)
TG:4607 is listed as Mingo Co Sheriff Dispatch
Is your DSD+ console showing any errors? What is shown in the DSD+ Seen Groups window?
DSD+ has identified 453.8125 as a control channel, but this frequency is not shown as a control channel in the rrdb. How did you program the site in the sds100? Did you include all frequencies for the site, or only the control channels?
PS: I think you will find it beneficial to download the dsd formatted sites and groups files for WV SIRN from RRDB and paste them into the DSDPlus.sites and DSDPlus.groups files. (It won't solve your reception problem, but will help identify what you are receiving)
You may also want to try to see if you receive the Panther site. It appears to be closer to your location:

If you don't show all windows, it makes it harder for those trying to help you, to actually help you. The less info you give and show, the more questions people need to ask you which in the end, turns a simple question into a 3 page thread.
When posting pics or videos, show all relevant windows.
Since it is in West Virginia, you should be asking in that forum if anyone else is monitoring that site and what freqs are they using. Then have someone make a submission to the database since the data in the db is not reflecting all freqs being used..

Per the video you provided you're getting emissions noise which is usually an indicator that the signals aren't coming in as strong as you think. You'll need to go to INPUT (menu) > No source audio monitoring to turn off said emissions noise unless you're using it for troubleshooting. Yes, all relevant windows do help. What is your average ERR rate in the window I boxed in red?
Either focus in FMP24 and hit z, or add -z in your file that starts FMP24
-z<num> Show zoomed spectrum (0-1) [-z1]
Cause this is more informational
than this,

Weak Signals.
Could be the voice channels are not as decodable as the control channel. So occasion blips of audio may pass that are garbled and unintelligible. Even just noise.
