I have downloaded SDRTrunk to receive Montgomery County's trunked system which is now in Phase 2. There is no direct download of Talk Groups from RR for this or am I just missing it? Other counties download but not MoCo.

You may be on to something. When I look at the waterfall screen I can see that both systems are working even though I specified that I want Phase 1. I can't get anything on P2. However, it appears that I am decoding both P1 and P2 (see attachment) and each is going to a different speaker (see waterfall screen left and right.) I am using 2 dongles with windows 10.There are TWO systems for Montgomery County Public Safety. The P16 (now or soon to be deprecated) and the active P25 system. While I'm not familiar with the software you're using, could it possibly be trying to utilize both systems?

The default config for SDRTrunk will use both the left and right audio channels. If 3 VFOs are available for audio and the voice VFO on the dongle that is being used for the control channel is within ~+/- 1 MHZ of the control channel frequency, you *might* get mixing of 2 tgs on one audio channel. You are not hearing the P16 system as SDRTrunk cannot decode its control channel, thus would not know what frequency to tune a voice VFO.You may be on to something.

Thanks Dallas. Solid info.Also, the P16 is dead, like in completely shut down and substantially disassembled dead. No one is hearing the MC P16 system anymore.
I know nothing about SDRTrunk, but I can say definitively that no one is hearing the MC P16 system regardless of device or capabilities.
Also, all the shared FD talkgroups in zone A run with FDMA modulation 100% of the time; the shared talkgroups in the other zones are configured for DDM so they may or may not be FDMA at any given moment depending on what radios are affiliated.
