Pro-197 - mot type ii smartzone demovl

[b1efvr42]

I bought a PRO-197, and went in to the database for Canada/Ontario/Frontenac County/Bell Fleetnet Ontario Provincial Government Zone 2. I then selected the Harrowsmith Tower (HARROW) and all the related Talkgroups. I downloaded it, sent it up to my PRO-197 and it is trunking fine. Does anyone know why when I go through the same steps for the Demorestville Tower (DEMOVL) and then pull all the same Talkgroups, when I send it up to my scanner, it will not Trunk (ie. no 'T' is flashing for this Scanlist. I know that the Control Channel frequencies are correct because I also have a PRO-2096 and I have the Demorestville tower programmed into it and it trunks fine. Anyone else have a similar issue when selecting a specific Tower and also using a PRO-197? Or does anyone have any thoughts why this might be? I'm still learning how this scanner works so maybe if I want to listen to 2 different towers but the same Talkgroups, I need to option something differently in the scanner? Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

PRO-197 Trunking issue

I found my problem. This scanner does NOT have the ears of the 2096. Both were connected to the same antenna and the 2096 consistently picks up the tower that my home is well beyond the footprint of. The 197 does not appear to be as sensitive and MUST be on a separate antenna when comparing scanners, particularly when it comes to Trunking. The 2096 can share an antenna and still perform well, the 197 can not.
