I noticed I can not get SJ Sheriff on my Whistler 1040 or 1065. I really do not listen to them often but I noticed a few weeks ago that I can not hear anything, I reverified the frequencies on the reference page as of today are what have been programmed into my scanners. I can hear their traffic on the live audio feed over the interwebs. I can pick up other P25 stuff county wide just fine and with my external antennas, I can pick up other stuff from neighboring counties all around me. Was wondering if they switched to phase 2 or there is something I'm doing wrong here. Any San Joaquin County folks have any insight? Thanks.

First, I would suggest checking your programming to make sure everything is entered correctly.

Second, where are you located? I receive SJCSO 3 *way* better than SJCSO 1. I'm not 100%, but I think SJCSO 3 is transmitting off some mountain-top sites in surrounding counties, whereas I believe SJCSO 1 is transmitting off some low-level towers throughout the county, not on mountaintop sites.
