PSR500 and EDAC Narrow

[Russell]

I've programmed one of the TXU EDACS Narrow sites into my PSR500 and I cannot get it to track this system. TSYS is set to EDACS Narrow and all the freqs are in the correct LCN order. I can't get the radio to track and I can't get it ANALYZE the data channel. It acts as if it doesn't even recognize the data channel. I have a good strong signal on an outdoor antenna. I am able to track this system using a BC246T. Any clues?

Thanks,
Russell

If you haven't already tried it, turn on the Invert option in the TSYS and see if that makes a difference.

After that, look at the frequency type (FM vs. NFM) and switch that to the other setting.

Last resort, try it as EDACS Wide in FM mode, and see if it tracks that way...

You are the man!!! The invert worked. The NFM is still set to NO (tried both without success). Thank you very much. I didn't even know the invert option was there. It tracks and now the "T" indicator flashes as expected.

Thanks,
