Which scanner are you using? If anything other than a SDS100 or SDS200, you are probably experiencing simulcast distortion. The Sedgwick County site actually consists of 10 subsites all transmitting on the same frequency at the same time. The signals arrive at your scanner at slightly different times which degrades its ability to properly decode the control channel. The SDS scanners were designed to overcome that issue.

Ensure that you program all channels on the Sedgwick Co. Tower; any of them can be used as a Control channel.
