Unable to hear Troop G

[gbrouill]

I can not pick up Troop G anymore. I monitor in Danbury. I pick up A, B, L, I, F, and H with no problem. It was working and suddenly stopped a couple of months ago. I have checked the freqencies and talkgroup ID, all look good.

Did something change?

i recieved troop G all day today in hartford , did you some how hit the L/O lock out button when the scanner might have been on a troop G transmission ? what scanner are you using ? and have any new NEXTEL towers gone up around your general neighborhood recently? forget the last one (nextel) you wouldnt recieve anything if that were the case.....if your recieving those other troops , id check to see if you accidentally locked it out some how ! hope that helps.

did you try in search mode? also, if you leave the radio on the data channel, are the talkgroups for troop g showing up?

Just A FYI. I Live East Of Htfd & Get Troop G L&C. One busy Little Troop To say The Least. Strange Enough, I can Pick up All Of The Troops From My Home With Just A Stock Rat Shack Ant Inside Sitting On Top Of My Comp Desk.

A Little Thing I Learned. After Programming What I Wanted, I Lock Out The Entry On The Keyboard On My 796d, To Keep Me From Accidently Messing With What I Have In It.

CSP Zoning

Due to the way the CSP system is zoned, you may not hear all troops. I live in the Troop C area and can hear troops that are by default, broadcast in this area (H, D, K, E). Since G is a couple troop areas away and cleat across the sate, I cant hear them unless one of the cars around here turns their radio to that channel. The smart zone system will broadcast non-default troops traffic only if a radio in that zone requests it (by tuning it to the channel foe that troop). I have proven this by having my buddy (who is a trooper) tune his car radio to G, Then my radio (Pro 96) came alive with G audio. When he tuned back off the G frequency, my radio when dead to G traffic after some timeout value... I would love to see an official zoning map, and see how the system is programmed. It would explain a lot..

There's one in the Files section of the ConnScan Yahoo group.

I've put together the following based on the FCC database for all the system frequencies:
