Need help 780 - anyone got a trick for this?

[scosgt]

As has been mentioned in other threads, there is what sounds like an Open Sky control channel on 866.5625 in the NYC area. This is one of the NJSP North channels as well, and I am unable to scan NJSP due to the scanner "sticking" on this noise every time a TG hits it.

I have tried:
ATT the channel (217 for reference purposes)
Setting the channel to AM
Locking out the channel
Setting a CTCSS tone on the channel
Setting no delay
Setting (-) delay, whatever that does.
Changing the radio out of CC only mode.
But so far, the system still hits the channel, and once the SQ is open, I can't get back, I am locked on the channel.
Anyone have ANY ideas what I can do to scan the system without whatever lands on that particular channel?
This is a BC780, but my 796 and 396 and everything else behaves the same way. And yes, it is programmed properly, others also hear the OS CC on the same freq.

Seems like I have heard of something like this before and the solution had something to do with the "data skip" feature, turning it on or enableing it in the bank see if that might help you.

I am not sure you can do that in a trunking bank for the 780. I'll have to take a look. The problem is, the interference totally walks over the actual transmission, so all that data skip might do is release it after the transmission ends.

Data skip is on, but I don't think it is active in trunk mode.

Well, here is a fix, not perfect but works...
I removed the offending freq, just set that channel to 000.000
Now it never hits that channel (so far).
I don't know why it did not act the same with a lockout, but there it is.

I now have it streaming if anyone wants to listen:
24.184.37.116 server port 5000
You need the client software (free) from www.proscan.org
Reception is very good right now.
