Offutt P25/Pro 96 programming issue

[KF0SKV]

First of all, Merry Christmas, everybody!

Looking for some help or assistance with Offutt P25.

I program the control channel, on line 4 of the display, I get> 96:----- 72%, in between the 96/36 system and decode rate, no other information on Tower/System number, or BEE Wacn is shown.

I can scan Offutt without the control channel and recieve Offutt without any problems, but when I scan only the control channel, I will see the talkgroups but no voice.

I did program the offset, 406.0000-base, 380-offset and 12.5-spacing, still having trouble.

Anybody got some tips? Or am I missing something??

Offutt does have good range by the way, recieved them clear past Hamburg Ia. last weekend

Greetings and Happy Holidays!

First of all - what kind of scanner are you trying to receive Offutt's P25 system on?

If it's a Uniden BCD396T or 996T, you should be able to program the system as a "Motorola APCO25" system and program only the two Control Channels listed in Radio Reference.

On my 396T, I didn't even enter the custom "band plan" and I was still able to receive the system with no issues.

Do you have all the frequencies programmed and you may need to thave them maked as trunked.

Yes all frequencies are programmed, I did try programming just the control frequencies, but got same problem. My talkgroup programming bank is set to Motorola not EDACS.
