I've noticed a problem with my SDS200.
The radio will begin to receive fine, but at some random point in the transmission, the audio will just cut out. I still see the radio is receiving and I have -86 or so on the RSSI Scale. My other radios are all still receiving but the SDS200 Mutes. I have other radios on in the same area listening to the same frequency.
I've documented this on video comparing this with a BCD996P2. Before I publish the video I want to also document this is happening with the other filter settings.
Sometimes audio will come back in about a second, and sometimes it will stay muted for 5 or more seconds.
So far, I've seen the following makes no difference:
Upgrading the 'base' firmware to the current firmware (as of 2/22/19)
Changing the filter setting from Normal, Invert, Auto, or Off
I do not have priority set and I do not have Wx priority set. So the scanner is not trying to do anything other than receive this single frequency.
I'm monitoring the local fire department which transmits about 2 miles from here. I'm in the basement using the back of set antenna and not my external antenna, so I don't think this is an issue of overloading the receive on the scanner.
I'm monitoring a single analog channel using the direct entry mode, so this isn't a database problem.
Every once and a while I do see the LINK show up on the display, which tells me that the scanner things this analog signal is digital and it is probably trying to sync up, but this isn't a digital signal. However, I do not see LINK every time I have the problem.
My BCD996P2 keeps monitoring fine, so there is something going on with the SDS200.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? The radio randomly mutes mid transmission.
Are there log files I can pull and send over to @UPMan ?
