Before anyone starts telling me to search, I read through most of the stickies here about the V2 update, but didn't find much that helped me.
I just got my 396T and performed the firmware update on it before really trying it out on the factory firmware. But I have a RS Pro-2096 side by side with my 396T, and I've swapped antennas so both radios use the same antenna, and I can not decode ANY P25 transmission on the 396T.
They are coming in loud and clear on the Pro-2096, and all analog transmissions come in great on the 396T. I found a thread which talked about the P25 wait time, and I tried adjusting it to 0ms, 600ms, and 800ms, which didn't help at all. The issue I'm having is that the 396T shows that it has a strong signal (4-5 bars), but all I can hear is a faint static, while my other radio is coming in great on a worse antenna.
Is there a known fix to this problem? I tried messing with AGC, trying to optimize P25 according to the manual, but still no luck.
I'm wondering if I should sell this thing and get a PSR-500
BTW, off topic but is it just me or does the 396T scan through the channels much slower then the RS/GRE scanners do? It takes about 3 seconds to scan through each system, ones that only have 3 groups and 20 channels, as well as ones with 10 groups and 50 channels.
