FD dispatch 6184?
Ft Worth P25 layer 2
Where is layer 2 in the data base?
Thanks for the link, I found it after my I posted the question.
I programed the frequencies and not receiving, I am getting full strength on the bar scale, using Freescan.
I know my scanner will do digital, I have another p-25 system working.
Any one with any suggestions.
Thanks.

I can scan hurst, Tx p25,
Hurst is a single site system, so the scanner cannot get confused by multiple sites.
The Fort Worth system is a simulcast system where there are several transmitters sites located throughout the area that transmit the same traffic and control channel on the same frequencies at all sites.
Unfortunately, if you are between two or more of them, and the signal is about equal, there's a good chance a scanner(especially a Uniden) will not be able to decode digital, even though you have 5 bars. I'm stuck in the same situation in NE Tarrant trying to hear the Fort Worth system. At home, I work around it by using a Yagi antenna pointed at a particular site, which helps the scanner focus on just one of the signals. It's frustrating.
The common follow up question that many will ask, "How do the firefighters and police officers communicate then?" They use radios that are designed and work better, and of course cost more.
I would try moving your scanner to different areas, and maybe connecting it to a directional(Yagi) antenna, to see if that helps.
Frankly, I'd be happy to pay more for a Uniden scanner if it worked without having to mess with all of the antenna hassles, but I don't think the people at Uniden get that. It's been a known problem in other parts of the country, and now we are going to experience it first hand.
I can not pick up any thing at my house, (that was not a problem before).
I thought I had problems with the program or elsewhere.
I can receive better mobile gong east (majority of my scanning is mobile}.
The scanner is full scale in Irving, Tx., Im lucky to get 2 bars in North Richland Hills, Tx. ???
Ben, what would you recommend for a yagi.
Do you have the link or other info. about site locations.
Thank You.
