Chicago Fire Dept. EMS (Soon Fire), has permaantly switched to their new Digital System this past Sunday. They previously had a 30 day evaluation and noticed a potential problem that reared it's ugly head once we switched over again.
The system has to be programmed (in the XT series) as a P25 One Frequency Trunked System. However, the Dispatch and Mobiles each use a different Talkgroup ID, and if not programmed correctly by setting the Delay and System Hold to quickly jump off the transmission, you can easily miss or "clip" the beginning of replies. It's similar to listening to two different frequencies for mobiles and base.
I have one of my 996XT's dedicated to this system, with one System set for North and another for South. I haven't seen this issue addressed before ,and my question is their a "workaround" or a "default Talkgroup ID" I can use instead of programming dispatch and mobiles seperately? I know in my 796, you programmed 70000 as a Wildcard to receive Private Calls on a Trunking system. Is their something like that for the XT series for this type of system?
