Anybody successfully scanning SEPTA's UHF analog trunked system on an SDS series scanner?
Using and older programming file from a BCD436, I have not been getting the TRS. Thinking there was some quirk in the programming, I deleted the system and readded it from the master database. Other than tweaking a few talkgroup names to make then shorter and creating a new talkgroup category just for the Elmwood District group of talkgroups, I changed no system info.
The SDS100 sees the system. I get full bars on the signal strength. In ID search mode, it even stopped on TG 1072 which had a bus operator going through his in service announcement only to have nobody on the other end (which was interesting because this is not a documented system talkgroup). However, it skips over traffic on programmed talkgroups. I have an older PSR-800 scanning away on the SEPTA system with no issues. If I hold the SDS100 on a specific talkgroup (say Suburban Supervisors), it will broadcast audio and show accurate RIDS. But, releasing it back to scan yields silence.
I'm stumped.

) Everything else is straight from the DB. You do have the Transportation service type turned on, correct?
