I have a BCD996P2 and only have the Collins and Ames towers programed in with Ames and Story County talk groups. I haven't changed any programming in it for a long time. This past week or so I have noticed that after some traffic has end from either dispatch or a unit and the scanner is still within the delay I am picking up traffic from other agencies. Like just a few minutes ago dispatch unkeyed and right after that I heard a Jasper County unit clear a traffic stop and asked to be put on the Newton fire. I have used a scanner for a long time but admittedly don't know all the ends and outs. Is this just a weakness of the scanner and the simulcasting? I figured I would ask here to see if anyone else was having the same problem since the system they are running is still a temporary setup.
Encryption on 28505..... And a correction not sure about the Ames 800Mhz site being used.
because SARA is dense simulcast with in-building, portable, on hip coverage to about 95-98%Maybe I mis-read this thread, but how is a Window's based software decoding P25 Phase II TDMA?
And why would anyone want to go to SARA when there is state-wide coverage with ISICS?
Today I'm not receiving anything from the 800Mhz. I'm only receiving the 700Mhz off Wallace Tower. Talk group IDs have changed. Combined with the info N0ZJT added so far we have:
28501 Story Law 1
28502 Story LEA
28509 ISU PD
48502 Story County Fire Paging
48503 Ames Fire Ops 1
38525 CyRide
Well that makes sense I suppose. Not knowing anything about simulcast, or how it applies to P25, I had to ask the question. Thanks.because SARA is dense simulcast with in-building, portable, on hip coverage to about 95-98%
