When scanning on a tdma p2 ssystem, the TG ID will flash, but it doesnt stop. If I stop the scan and manually select the TG, it works fine.
Any suggestions?

What system are you scanning and which talkgroups? If you export a HPE file of your favorites list and attach it, I will check it for problems.
Encryption possibly?

Its the CT Land mobile radio network, loaded from Radioreference. Its a non encypted talkgroup. Again, if I stop and manually select it, it receives it fine. Let me export a file if I can figure out how. Im only doing one troop in favorites. Its a simulcast.

had to add to a zip wouldnt let me attach an HPE
Nope. If it was encrypted, you'd never hear traffic. Service Type is most likely turned off.
I missed the part when he said it worked when selected manually.

Well I loaded it into the Proscan editor, and saved it after a minor change, and now its working. All I did was add a talkgroup. So suddenly all ok LOL

Try loosening the squelch. I didn't see anything wrong in the programming. I missed your most recent post.

It shouldn't affect digital. I can turn mine all the way up and digital still performs normal. He found the problem.

Im a bit baffled. Loaded it into the proscan editor, saved back to radio, started working. Go figure.

For future reference though, squelch has no effect on the digital trunking

Upman, the former Uniden rep, suggested turning the squelch off if you were having a problem receiving a trunked system. That helped with simulcast systems.
Your service type selections probably got changed.
I was having trouble receiving trunked simulcast at first. Called tech support and their advise was to set squelch at 2. That fixed it.

That would actually be a good feature to have, if it could be set per modulation type. Some sort of offset like the one for volume. One minus step for digital and one plus for AM mode. But now the squelch acts on the RF carrier and the squelch doesn't care if it's analog or digital modulation. The max setting doesn't cut all reception and most signals at a moderate level are still received.

Squelch Does Matter (a slogan I can get behind) for digital reception on the newer Uniden models, especially in the boonies, Turn it all the way up and you may not hear anything unless next to the tower.. I stay at 2.. You can go lower than 2 but it slows scanning and will stop on anything conventional w/o a tone set. But is great if holding on a trunk system (or just a few sites and a few other trunked systems exclusively) that are a little weak and the TG's seem to disappear without stopping.. This increases the chances of those flashing TG's to stop and hear something instead of flashing by on the scanner..

Again the squelch was wide open. And it stopped when I edited it in proscan and saved back. Control channel is 3 bars only but its dead solid now
Glad it is working sounds like the old dreaded corrupted data issue.
