Pro 97 Question

[DanF]

I monitor system 10 (San Bernardino City, CA Police) 800MhZ Motorola Smartnet type II with my portable Pro 97... (I have all MOT'S blocked but 20784 CH 1 primary) I also have a Pro 2025 with the same system exact freq's programmed into it as my Pro 97. On my Pro 97, every other tx I receive (50% of traffic) is completely garbled' to the point where you CANNOT understand what either the officer or the dispatcher's are saying.. I've gone into the PGM menu and switched the trunking mode to MOTOROLA TGID and its not chainging anything. I'm certain that they haven't switched to any type of encryption because I never have a problem with the Pro 2025's rx on system 10. Any ideas on what this could be? Its driving me insane!

Yes I've gone over checked (and) re-checked all the frequencies and they're exactly in the same order as on FON...

Thanks,
Dan

Considering that both scanners are analog only, and similar, the issue must be with signal reception. Make sure you don't have the attenuator on for ANY frequency. I wonder if you are using the exact same antenna (through a splitter?) for the scanners.

Knowing that the 2025 is non-trunking, and the 97 is, do you have the 97 set up for trunking with MOT mode for the CC's? If you are trying to listen as conventional, the CC info might be the garbled sound you are hearing. Have you asked in the CA forum about this? There might be a change going on that you don't know about. It also seems that it would be a long haul to hear a CA trunked system from Tempe, AZ. Regardless of the terrain.

I thought he wrote/meant PRO-2055, not PRO-2025. The '2025 is not even listed in the Wiki.

It's got to be a 2055. The 2025 is a 16 channel that only goes to 512. Something must not be in the 97 correctly.

.. just fyi.. my base unit is a Pro 2052 dual trunking - 1000 channels.. I mixed up the last two numbers.. I've made sure that the ATT function is off on all frequencies.. and on both scanners, I have the 800 MHz antennas designed for the 800 system... I also have system 6/7 county sheriff and I don't have any problems on the 6/7 bank that I do on the 10 system..
