lunascan7 i sent a message that might help.
look at the top of the page to the right for the envelope.

As of 7:30am, after about 11 hours of having those talk groups added, I recorded a total of 58 seconds of audio on 1204 and 35 seconds of audio on 1202. But I am receiving them in my area. Not sure how much else you are scanning but maybe reduce to just the minimal to detect you are receiving these so you aren't stopped on a different frequency when the little activity on these TGs comes in?
Are you recording the audio or just hoping to be listening when it comes in? It's not a lot of activity based on what I was able to capture.

Lunascan7, I use a 436 with a Diamond SRH77CA antenna on the ground floor and pick up the South Simulcast frequencies and all non-encrypted tg's from around the county 5x5. Some dropouts but not a major concern. I only have the south frequencies programmed. You're not that far from the Alpine location, so that should be a home run. Also just as a point of reference, program the Rockland County trunked system and check your programming process and reception. You should get great reception being inches away from RC. Good luck, Chuck.
Hi GeekNJ. Thanks for all your time. After seeing your test results I would think there’s a problem with the information on Radio Frequency. I do not record just monitor.
If anyone has any information on how to try and program Bergen county Interboro Police group 1202 & 1204 besides using Radio Frequency please let me know.
Or
maybe use Radio Frequency but in a different way.
At this point I will try anything.

Hi Berny6, receiving group 1204 sounds really good. Wish I could.
After all my postings and playing around not receiving any hits on any channels on group 1204 do you think it’s posable Radio Frequency might have incorrect information posted causing my problem
Are you using Radio Frequency info for programming your scanner?
Does anyone know away of look up group 1204 control channels frequencies besides Radio Frequency?
Any help will be appropriate.

Luna - not sure what you mean with an issue on "radio Frequency". Do you mean this site - radio reference? That's the data I used to program my 436HP so the info on the site isn't wrong. My guess is your radio isn't properly programmed for it, but since I don't have that radio, I'm not sure how to suggest what you should look for. I didn't re-read the entire thread but your original post indicates you aren't picking up any P25 activity, so it's likely programming, or an issue with the radio, but I'd guess programming first.
Maybe post again as a new thread, as people might be ignoring this one now, and have the title something like "BCD325P2 help programming P25" . Provide the info on how you are programming the radio and see if anyone can step you through. Best thing to do is for each person that responds, pretend you know nothing and don't assume you understand what they are saying or you think you did what is be suggested - just follow their steps exactly as described as if you never used the radio before. I say that because it's easy to take what someone says and interpret it differently and you wouldn't want to do what you are already doing, if it's the programming.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance with your situation.

GeekNJ, thanks for the response good information. My error with radio Frequency It should be radio reference.

luna, did you happen to read my messages ?

Punched a new BCD325P2 a few weeks ago.
I been trying to receive Bergen NJ Interboro Police TGID 1204 & 1202.
I’m using freescan with Radio Reference. So far I haven’t received anything.
I have also programmed the scanner for conventional analog and that works great
I have also programmed the scanner for Rockland County New York.
Rockland County Public Safety Communications System (RCPSCS).
Clarkstown Talkgroups TGID 5001, 5002, 5003 & 5004.
Plus North Rockland Talkgroups TGID 3051. Plus Orangetown Talkgroups TGID 2031 & 3031.
I been getting allot of activity on these channels. The voice quality sucks.
Does anyone know what’s up with the BCD325p2 and Bergen NJ Interboro Police system not working?
Has anyone have experience with Bergen NJ Interboro Police and the 325P2 or the 996P2 scanners.
Any help would be appropriate.

Our Police are on Project 25 Phase ll. Uniden claims that the Bcd325p2 is a good match for Project 25 Phase ll.
After buying a Bcd325p2 I have tried everything possible for over two weeks. No go with Project 25 Phase ll on my scanner.
I also tried RCPSCS APCO-P25 and that works fine. Analog stations also works fine.
I’m still within my 30 day return.
I think I read the Bcb436hp works much better with Project 25 Phase ll.
Could anyone confirm this?

You say you've tried everything, exactly what have you tried ?
What software are you using to program the 325 ? What antenna are you using ?
I have a BCD536HP (mobile/base version of BCD436HP) and it works fine on P25 ph2 IN MY LOCATION. But it is connected to an external discone antenna and I am at about 1600' elevation with no significant obstructions to the south and east, which is the direction I am interested in monitoring.

What exactly do you mean when you say that about the Uniden BCD325P2 scanner? Are you receiving absolutely nothing (silence), is it noisy or lots of static being received, is the audio heard but garbled or sounds like it is underwater, etc.? Please be very specific.

If this Rockland County Public Safety Communications System (RCPSCS) is the system you say is coming in fine, then it is a P25 ph 2 system also.
Is it possible that Talkgroup 1204 (Northvale Police Dispatch) might be encrypted?
I know that I've mentioned this before in another thread and somebody said that things were not encrypted but the RadioReference webpage at:
still says specifically:
Bergen County, New Jersey (NJ) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

Bergen County NJ programming problem with BCD325p2
I purchased a Uniden BCD325p2 scanner last week. I’m using freescan and radio reference for programming. Programming analog works great. Programming digital Project 25 Phase II. Audio is APCO-25 Common Air Interface Exclusive. Not working. I have loaded dozens of different digital Project 25...
This is the same issue that has been kicked back & forth in your thread in the Tech Support forum:
Uniden scanner programming Problem.
NEED HELP... I purchased my first digital scanner last week. A Uniden BCD325p2. I’m using free scan and radio reference for programming. Here’s my problem. My location is Bergen County New Jersey. I been trying to program the scanner for 3 day’s without success. here’s the information of what...
Since you appear to be having issues that are common to simulcast problems, the 325P2 is probably not your best choice. It's a good scanner, but not where simulcast is in play.
The 436HP is marginally better, but still not the best choice.
After I got my SDS100, I tried it specifically in local areas where other have reported simulcast problems. The SDS100 received clearly, not missing transmissions. I had other scanners with me to try at the same location.
The 436HP was not as good as the SDS100, working 70 to 80% of the time.
My 325P2 was in the 50 to 60% range compared to the SDS100.
The TRX-1 was less than 50%.
Remember that simulcast problems are extremely dependent on location. While the 325P2 might work in your area, if and only if, you were at a location where terrain or buildings blocked the conflicting signals from other simulcast sites, that does not mean it will work everywhere. Location is critical enough that sometimes, someone has reported that the moved their scanner a few feet one way or another in their house, and the issues changed significantly.
