I currently have a BCD996P2, and I understand how it may suffer with simulcast reception. My current issue is that I have the San Bernardino County P25 system programmed, with Forest Falls, Bertha Peak, Onyx Peak, East Valley, and Mountain Simulcast programmed correctly. I live in Forest Falls, and I can hear 2-CMD-4 and other talkgroups consistently, but I cannot pick up the 2-DISP-1 group with the AV paging on the Forest Falls system.
The Forest Falls group has 5 bars with good signal. For Mountain Simulcast, I have 4 bars but the system will never find a control channel, unlike with the Forest Falls group. All other systems mentioned above I cannot hit, presumably due to location.
I'm currently using a Tram-1089 for 800Mhz inside my garage, and a Comet CHA250B about 50ft up on my roof for all other frequencies and primarily CHP which works well. I've tried the Tram outside with no improvement in reception.
So my question is, what would prevent only the 2-DISP-1 from not being received while other groups are, and why can't I get a control frequency on Mountain Simulcast despite 4 bars? Thx!
