Not hearing city of Atlanta P25

[Bailey1213]

It has been a few weeks since I listened to the city of Atlanta public safety P25 system but I am getting nothing. I monitored the Fulton County interop ( where ATL goes if their system is down) and I still get nothing. I don't see any changes here on RR. Any info from the group?

Additional information. I am using a Uniden SDS200, I updated the firmware and database files.

Zip up your Sentinel export and attach it as a reply to this thread so someone can have a look at your programming

I appreciate your reply but I don't think that is the problem, I have been listening to Atlanta fine for over seven years and I am very adept at programming scanners and radio systems. I was just wondering if anyone else is having a problem or if there has been a recent change to Atlanta Public Safety P25 system?

And just like that....it starts working perfectly again. Weird?

More than likely the system rolled over to a control channel you don't have programmed.

Guess with you now receiving them it rotated back to a control channel you have programmed in the scanner.

You got remember with trunking the control channel is everything. If the radio can't receive the control channel you won't hear anything.

When scanning trunking the scanner doesn't really scan. It just monitors the control channel for voice channel grants for talkgroups with you wish to monitor.

Going forward you may be able to update your files to include the missing control channels.

Almost certainly your programming. But up to you if you don't want the help. No, no issues with the system or my ability to monitor it during the period you were having trouble.
