BCD325P2/BCD996P2: No longer decodes DMR

[bearcatrp]

Try this. Go into the service search. The last one is special. Tried it today on mine and was listening to allot of DMR traffic. Worth a shot to see if it’s picking up DMR.

Is it decoding any DMR at all? (I would rather the discussion stay here to get maximum ideas and not just mine)

seemingly no. Even at full strength, it refuses compared to my trx1.

I'm using a remtronix 800 antenna. And no it's not. I usually have very good reception due to how close and powerful the repeater is.

Try the stock antenna since the system is on a 150Mhz. frequency.

Well the thing is, I even tried it on my RH77CA Diamond antenna and it still didn't decode it. So again, not a reception issue.

So again, try the stock antenna. Just to add again as mentioned, DMR upgrade doesn't disappear from your scanner, but programming parameters do change, such as frequencies, color codes etc.

So again, try the stock antenna.

And what happens if it still doesn't work?

What happens if it does?

 

[Pr999]

I'm moving this to a PM with you.

No dice entering frequency via quick search?

Edit: now it's finally starting to chirp!

Send it in for repair if you are sure you've tried everything.

 

[JoeBearcat]

seemingly no. Even at full strength, it refuses compared to my trx1.

So all DMR activity at your location is full strength? That is nearly impossible,

I AM talking about ANY DMR - not just this frequency.

I think this might be a programming issue on the OP's end if activity is heard on Quick Search but not via OFT. Maybe a color code discrepancy or something of the like. OP should verify data displayed via Quick Search matches up with what's programmed in OFT

I agree!

Perhaps he should just delete this system right off his scanner and re-download it from the database. I think it would be wise to check the CC on the quick search to make sure it hasn't changed first. At least that's what I usually do when all else fails with a particular system and I'm at wit's end

 

[Pr999]

Ok, it seems like a lot of you guys are right, it seems it had something to do with OFT. But the problem was the color code seemed to change on the repeater end, so I switched it to search and now it's chirping again. IDK what's going on with the system but yes, it was a programming issue.
