I repaired the zone /frequency assignments and the Fail 001 is gone. Iām now scanning on Zone 1 Scan personality 1 but no receive audio is breaking through.
I programmed a conventional button to monitor and can hear digital noise as if there were a talk group present when it were transmitting.
Merlin, I appreciate your kind assistance, Your help was spot on. I have the NAS working and Iām receiving the TGās. Letās quickly close up this thread as itās getting out of control.
What happened to fix it? The bandplan/Astro25 channel ID?
All the conventional zone frequency assignments being the same is not an issue as long the frequency is not active, I see you said there was possibly noise, a quiet freq is needed to scan NAS. Its important to not only use an inactive frequency for the conv personality but also use PL or DPL to further that effort of a quiet freq for the radio. You shouldn't be hearing anything on the conventional channel being used as the selected 'anchor' channel for NAS.
I had changed the transmit frequency to something in range but far off, but not changed the offset. I still had the Fail 001. Did'nt change the tx pwr or deviation (as of yet).
Just tried your second suggestion since this system is not overly active, I've six voice channels and I'm receiving. Wondering about the conventional settings astro tab. This is a simulcast system, and I'm seeing the systems tx deviation around 9.8 khz, which I'm figuring is much too high on a 12.5 khz channel spaced system (so much for spectral efficiency ... ). So, I'm confused about C4FM vs CQPSK vs wide. Audio is a bit "tinny". Also with the rx unmute rule, I'm set to digital csq and it seems to work fine that way. Suggestions?
If you should try doing it that way by scanning the voice channels instead of NAS, in the conventional personality, the digital modulator type should be set to CQPSK for simulcast. off topic, this is also a setting in the trunking system that needs to be set to CQPSK for simulcast reception for NAS, but I see it already is in your codeplug.. You can adjust the treble of the audio on the radio wide page. The digital unmute rule of digital CSQ will work unmuting to all digtial transmission ie CSQ in digital. , if you have noticed encryption on the system that will also receive. One trick to elimiate that during this type of scanning the voice channels is to set NAC to the correct NAC on the zone page, as well selecting Astro Rx Unmute rule of Selective Squelch, setting up a Astro Talkgroup Options of the selectable talkgroup from the talkgroup table list of * 65535 *, the secure Key ID other than the correct it will mute encrypted talkgroups while unmuting to every other clear voice traffic on the voice channels
