SDS100/SDS200: SDS100/200 occasionally missing in the clear P25P2 comms

[CORN]

I tried to include a video (won’t let me upload vids from my iPhone only pics) of my SDS200 and BCD436HP side by side where both my 100 and 200 exhibit the same problem with Phase II comms periodically. The SDS flash the TGID’s like their encrypted but their not and I could prove it if I could upload my video. 436 doesn’t miss a beat. Anyone else have this issue and is there a fix for it? Forgive me, moderators is this has been discussed.

Try programming the control channel capable frequencies only in the sites. Sometimes, scanners can mistake a data frequency for a control channel. Have you tried using the filters? I often have good results with wide invert.

I do have only the control channels programmed but I will def try the filter. Thanks.

I agree with trying filters. I can confirm that wide invert improves my reception of Illinois' statewide 700/800 MHz P25 trunked system. It even seems to improve UHF reception for me. Of course, your mileage may vary.
