Pro-96 in Tippecanoe County

[Miamik7]

Hello I have a pro-96 i dusted off. It used to pick up my county in 2016 but I factory restored it when I went elsewhere and now I cant get it back. I have the com cable ans used win96 to download the info from the programs auto populate. Still get nothing.

If you hold on the control channel and put the squelch all the way down do you get "repeater noise"? Do you receive everything else ok and just that system doesn't come in?

Simulcast	Tippecanoe	851.050c	851.850	852.7125	853.1125	853.5875	855.2125	855.7375
				857.7375c

and there is the simulcast word.
that can cause broken to no communications.
you might try and move the radio and antenna around, or take it for a drive nearer a tower if you know where one might be.
it would not matter, but i see that 857.7375 is in there twice.

In 2016 Tippecanoe County was still on the analog Type II system. If you're using that programming it won't work as they've moved to P25.

Can you give us a screen shot of your talkgroups? The TGID's will tell us if it is still set for the Motorola Type II system.

Pro-96 is P-25. Just not a good scanner for P-25 anymore.

Oh I know, but its a true P25 Phase I system now and not Type II with digital talkgroups.

The new system is P25 Phase 1. The PRO-96 is capable of P25 Phase 1. You are OK since the new system is using 800 MHz frequencies (PRO-96 cannot trunk track 700 MHz). It is a 3 site simulcast system which may or may not give you problems depending upon your location. If the scanner is programmed properly and the system is not being received, you may need to adjust VR4 inside the scanner.

The pro-96 will work fine for P25 Phase I systems. I've used a pro2096 for the past 15+ years receiving the Indiana statewide system. The 2096 is base/mobile version of the pro96 handheld.
