Thanks for those responses, much appreciated. I knew it was that site with the antenna side-mounted in the backyard on Aunt Dora's She-Shed that was causing this... 
They are also on Zone 1 Simulcast.
Actually, you might be correct in that assumptionI knew it was that site with the antenna side-mounted in the backyard on Aunt Dora's She-Shed that was causing this...
Correct and they also affiliate with Zone 2 Sometimes probably others too
Blows my mind that a municipality can join a system with sub optimal coverage, especially public safety.TG 9563 is active in the clear on the Zone 3 (Southern Westchester) cell.
The usual caveat with this system applies, which is that most of the RF subsites in southern Westchester are not mountaintop/monster sites, so the signal can be weak in some areas. Despite having a lot of subsites throughout the entire system + municipalities jumping on board, this system should not be mistaken for the breadth of coverage a true countywide system would offer.
Actually an interesting development from one of the people I was assisting. I suggested to him that he try turning off the SDS200's global filter. As it is Uniden ships it set to "Normal", which means it's on. He set it to off and it worked; he's now hearing Harrison PD/EMS and numerous other agencies he was not able to hear before.
These filter settings are like snowflakes, no two are alike, so I suggested to the other gentleman to try them one by one and see if he hits the jackpot. Then, if it effects other monitoring targets negatively he can set the filter to work on just that particular system.
Thanks again for all of the input; much appreciated.

On settings turn off GLOBAL FILTER/ OFF it worked for me, in Harrison New York also monitoring others in WESTCHESTER COUNTY.TG 9563 is active in the clear on the Zone 3 (Southern Westchester) cell.

Great, now you'll no longer submit questions to the database instead of using these discussion forums to ask questions.
Sorry, I broke the rules, it won't happen again!
Would anyone willing to help confirm for me the TGs listed in the database as being FDMA are infact still FDMA and the whole system hasn’t been upgraded to TDMA TGs? I’m working on something and an answer to this would clear everything up and save me from further head scratching hahaha
Generally speaking, anything homed to the Metro cell is FDMA, anything homed to the MRRS is TDMA. There are a few anomalies. For example Troop NYC is FDMA even when carried on the MRRS cells. The database may not accurately represent that 100%, I do see a few of the sub-9000 series TG's flagged as TDMA capable. Just remember that mode T in the RRDB = TDMA capable, not necessarily 100% TDMA 100% of the time.
So generally speaking anything MTA or Transit should be TDMA also anything below 9k for a TGID should be TDMA
Got it thank you
As far as I know, all of the "local" Westchester PD agencies in the south are TDMA
Correct, any talkgroup that is "home" on the MRRS side (26E) will be TDMA. The Metro (26D) homed talkgroups should all be FDMA still.
That being said, the MRRS cells are TDMA capable, so there is always the remote possibility that any talkgroup could show up in TDMA mode, even if it's primarily FDMA on the Metro cell.
I assume that @BabaDude77 is putting this system into his XTS and wants to know which talkgroups are FDMA.

Uh no because that would be “illegal” 😏 just looking to see what works on my Whistler phase 1 scanner
Anyone know who 9 L 0 would be? Heard them id on tg 5011. Wiki says 1 - 9 are dispatchers. Who is zero?
- 9X1-9X9 - Dispatcher
- 9X10-9X99 - Dispatcher(?)
