Still not getting anywhere. Going to dump more info here and see if anyone else has a clue to this.
Repaired an antenna issue; replaced battery pack. Have tried all the various tips (p25 adjust, control channel only, reseat the P25 card, wipe the memory and start over etc.) found in various threads here. Scanner will decode P25 on non-trunked systems. Scanner follows Newington LTR system and shows TGIDs.
Right now I can see signals on the individual frequencies, but no TGIDs or audio.
Was intermittently getting TGIDs last night.
Unit was trying to stop on active talkgroups, but couldn't do better than rapidly blink the TGID. A couple of times, I was adjusting P25 audio and I got sound quality of 0000 and a couple of blips of audio (using med patches to tell when there was an active TG because I can hear them on my BC346XLT and they stay on for a while). Tried overshooting and undershooting settings, still no good. Again, other non-trunked P25 systems sound great.
One odd thing is that I can't get the squelch to open up at all, although it seems to hear WX and out-of-town PD (Manchester, Berlin) just fine. That may be the key. Not sure there's a way to coarse-adjust squelch threshold on this radio because I can't find a service manual.
May drive closer to WH center and see if it's a multi-site issue. May also drive out to Bristol and see if I can track non-PD talkgroups on that system.
About to give up and get a 325p2 when budget permits, which should be soon.
