What AUTO start value were you using for the P25 optimization setting with V1.x?

I can guarantee that I was not experiencing single site capture, as it was the same stationary as it was mobile throughout the area. Plus of course the Pro-96 was completely unreadable when stationary. I cannot say for certain what the ERR rate was as I only looked out of curiosity since adjustment there is now moot, but I do remember thinking that the numbers seemed high with regard to previous numbers on other P25 systems, like over 30 to begin with; however, I certainly never was able to adjust it to anything acceptable prior to the update.rfburns said:...I suspect that the few people who say simulcast systems sound better now, have just a single site capturing their receiver. It might be helpful it those people who have improved simulcast audio would post their ERR's.
-The radio is performing about the same as it did prior to the V2 firmware update on simulcast sites. Audio quality is poor. I would estimate that I am able to understand about 80% of any given transmission.loumaag said:Lets think of this using the following points, if anyone can add points please do so:
*I think that the first point to consider is does the radio perform better or worse on the same simulcast sites before or after the update. Again (for those of you reading this in normal everyday mode), please remember I am only talking about Project 25 simulcast sites.
-I do not perceive that end users on the simulcast sites are experiencing similar issues. I rarely hear users ask to repeat because “they went digital”.loumaag said:*The next thing to consider is how do the actual users seem to perceive the system as working?
-Unfortunately, the non-simulcast sites do not often carry the same talkgroups as the simulcast sites. I have not been able to monitor the same talkgroups on a non-simulcast site yet. However, I have been monitoring site 103-Sky Harbour IR. This is a non-simulcast site, and audio is cleaner on than on the simulcast sites. I have also been watching the error rate, and it is much lower on the non-simulcast site 103.loumaag said:*Is a non-simulcast site, carrying the same traffic, available to compare?

Now I made the backup and Paul and Uniden are wrong. The problem is not easily fixed. And just wait until rebanding. You haven’t seen anything yet! It killed my reception and saying just get rid is a simplistic, lets get on the good side of Uniden answer.
There is a problem, Uniden promised to fix it several times, it's not fixed.
The analog V. digital issue has been around a year, it was supposed to be fixed, it's not.
The motorboating/braaap was supposed to be fixed, it's not, in fact in many cases it is worse. And more users are experiencing this issue now. Some still blindly support Upman and Uniden like yourself.
I am aware of ALL the adjust parameters for the BCD396. And I’ve tried them, which according to Upman’s promise “nobody” would need to do so. He said the problems would be fixed. They are not, and in some cases they are worse.
Yes it sounds like I hate the radio. It is clearly not doing what it is supposed to do, and it is now worse, now missing transmissions, it has trouble with Motorola Type I systems now, and P25 systems. Never had those issues before. It doesn’t even come close to prior performance under the version 1.xxx firmware’s.
Again you want the radio, with firmware version 2.01.00; send me money and it’s yours
UPMan said:BCD396T Users:
It appears that the squelch setting on some units is being reset during the update. If you are seeing reception issues, please recheck (manually re set) your squelch setting and/or restore the backup of the programming you made prior to applying the updates. Several people have reported then recanted problems after doing this.
