I have been enjoying the SDS-100 for a short while now and trying to learn more of the programming of it. I have the areas set up and have been hearing everything pretty much OK, but I recently noticed that I have not heard any calls when the PD's transfer to the county wide green channel, 488.887500, listed with other county mutual aid channels. There are 5 channels under this heading such as car-to-car, North, Central and South areas and they are all unchecked and not set to avoid, so they should be working. The San Mateo County PD's, sheriff and fire are on a P-25 system and all seem to be working since I hear calls all over the county. Recently there heva been a lot of grab and runs, 459 calls, and many cat converter chases in my city , (South San Francisco), and also adjacent cities, San Bruno, Millbrae and Daly City, that have switched to the green after a few minutes, and then I hear nothing. I have heard the green channel before over the last 10-15 years with my older Pro-92, but not since I have been listening to the newer digital channels on P-25 system. After finding my PRO-92 several months ago, which had been hidden in storage for quite some time, I was rudely awakened to find that I could only hear a couple of calls during the day and that was spotty, only hearing partial calls every hour or so, and found that it was a new digital world out here. LOL I will try and get the log file attached from sentinel and hopefully someone might be able to advise what I did wron, or what might have happened. I do need to update the database since I have not since June I think, but also need to find out how I update the favorites list also so everything is up to date. Thank you for any and all help and I will keep enjoying the SDS-100.
