Hey everyone,
I'm having a lot of difficulties scanning (and broadcasting!) my local Sheriff's Office. They are on a statewide 800 system that is a Motorola Type II SmartZone. I have programmed just the control channels for the site closest to me in bank 1 and the second-closest site in bank 2 as the PRO-163 documentation says. I always scan both banks. I only have it programmed to pick up on two TG's, the SO Dispatch and the HP's local channel. HP comes through fine all the time; it's the SO that I have problems with. Here's a sample of the troublesome audio: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuQzziS2po2BsQPsRgUGcGq4h5U7 . It's incredibly random as other times, you can hear traffic on the TG clear as day. However I would say this happens more than clear traffic. I know for a fact that it is traffic that is just somehow not being picked up by the scanner as sometimes this static will happen, then you hear a reply from another unit clear as day, then the static may happen again. Sometimes you can deduce that it was obviously dispatch that was calling a unit but other times you can hear dispatch just fine so it doesn't seem to be unit-specific. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this nonsense. I appreciate any help y'all can give.
