My local county has a relatively new P25 simulcast system, on which I monitor the fire/EMS talkgroups. The fire/EMS dispatch talkgroup is Phase 2, while the fireground channels are Phase 1. The 436 seems to handle the Phase 2 talkgroup pretty well, but the Phase 1 fireground channels can be a little broken. I'd try to describe the broken transmissions as very quick alternation between hearing the audio and then missing the audio, with the missing pieces being less than a quarter second each time, perhaps measured in milliseconds.
I'm familiar with simulcast issues. In this case, the whole system is simulcast but different talkgroups are received differently. Could the difference be Phase 1 vs. Phase 2? And if so, might there be a solution or workaround?
