Next to a scanner...
We need a little more info to help - it looks like you're trying to listen to the State Smartzone system - Lawton site. Are you hearing data on 859.7175 or is that something you have programmed in and not hearing anything? Try 860.7175 if 859 is quiet.

What this scanner previously working on the trunked system in question - or is this a newly programmed scanner?

I have 859.7125 as control channel. Everything was working properly until the ice storm about 2 weeks ago. Now I get LPD transmissions infrequently. A friend cannot get LPD using his scanner on trunked system. He has each frequency programed. I get OHP loud and clear.

Is there just no traffic, or are you missing replies? If skywatch can hear it on Baker Peak, there should be traffic on the Lawton site (probably the "Home" site for LPD).

Lawton should be set up as "standard" or "normal" not "splinter". Make sure you're using "Control Channel only" - as long as the scanner gets a data channel, it should track any monitor-able talkgroup activity.

Maybe try programming a new system from scratch and seeing if it works...


What type of scanner are you using? Perhaps someone can help provide instructions or a file for you to load.

I'm picking up Lawton with 3 bars in Elk City on 859.2625. For some reason the main users are the SO, county fire, and OHP. not much else comes thru that tower. I was in Altus on Saturday and I heard Lawton loud and clear on their main frequency in my mobile. It must be a problem on your end.

After entering all the freq. in another group I am getting LPD. Still won't work using just the control channel. Will monitor both ways and see what happens.
