Problems listening to LMRN with a BCD 536HP

[ve3tej]

My BCD 536HP will not recieve the MTO snow crews while they do their road checks.

It used to work, but I deleted the system before everybody moved to the new system and when I try now, it does not work.

The radio does say DAT and is connected to an outside antenna. I can sit on the active talk group but nothing changes on my screen or there is no sound

I have tried using Sentinel, Proscan and ARC but nothing has worked. I wonder if something has changed on the system or has RadioReference changed something on their site?

Check your system settings. Be sure you're on P25x2. Also verify the CC frequencies.

Something has changed with LMRN but hasn't been discovered/updated yet. What worked last week now doesn't.

My BCD 536HP will not recieve the MTO snow crews while they do their road checks.

I'd remove every site channel but the control channel. There's a data channel broadcast from every site that is sometimes mistaken for a control channel.

My 536 is receiving MTO Road and Weather reports without any problems.

 

[bluwest]

So keep the channels in red only?

 

[ve3tej]

Sentinel does not add P25x2, I have changed the system type and only have the control channel and still no luck

Are you receiving the control channel?

Yes, full strength. The scanner says DAT and also have all the MTO West talk groups and have ID Search turned on

On Jan 12th I updated my Sentinel Full Database list with that version from that day. I then appended it to my LMRN Favourite list. A few moments ago heard MTO Milton. So that works. It has DAT for a moment, full bars then the talkgroup and audio shows up.
For shtzengiggles try the Full Database on LMRN, does it behave the same or different from your Favorite list? I hate using the Full Database personally, it takes forever to do a full cycle due to my 50 Mi. range.

Stupid question: do you have Public Works enabled as a Service Type? Although, you must have it on if it worked at one time before.

My 536 is working fine on LMRN. I made a dedicated favorites with just LMRN in it. This is a lot easier to navigate from the scanner controls than is the Full Database. You may want to go that route.

Public works was on
I always put LMRN in its own favourite

I just cleared my user data and will wait until 3pm and see what happens.

If this does not work I might have to get a copy of someones working file

I've been having the same problem with my SDS 200.

I ended up resetting user settings through the restore options, and this seems to have solved the problem.

Not sure if the 536 has the same menu options FWIW.

I can upload a known working .hpd for LMRN if anyone is interested.

Just make sure your band plan is right.
