Hi all,
I have been searching and searching for someone with a similar problem, but I haven't been able to find anything.
I recently purchased a Motorola Astro Spectra and programmed it to our department's specs. The programming includes local fire, EMS, Sheriff's Office channels, etc. All of the frequencies receive *EXCEPT* our main SO channel. However, I know the frequency is correct with the correct PL tone. The channel will receive when I key up on "direct mode" on another radio; however, it just will not pick up the SO channel when the rest of the department is using it. All of our other portable and mobiles are programmed with the same frequency/PL combo, so I know it isn't a typo.
Now, I wouldn't be too intrigued with this if it wasn't for my next problem. My XTS3000 that I had not too long ago had the SAME exact issue on the same frequency. No other mobile or portable that I have used (different models) has had an issue receiving any frequencies, much less our main SO channel.
FWIW, the channel is VHF at 154.875 with a PL of 114.8.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. I wouldn't be this mad if it was just about any other channel, but this is one of the main reasons I have this mobile radio!
