Hello all,
I have a very strange issue that I'm wondering if anyone has seen before. I have been monitoring a new VHF Phase 2 system that has recently come online within the past month:
Hawaii County Public Safety System Trunking System, Varies, Hawaii - Scanner Frequencies
I have no problems at all monitoring this system with a Uniden BCD996P2, an HP-2 and a BCD436HP. I also have a couple of OP25 installations on laptops that I am able to monitor the system on as well. However, I have a Pro-668 and TRX-1 that for some reason will not track this system at all. What I mean by that is they will lock on the control channel, but there is no indication of any voice or talkgroup activity whatsoever. The behavior is similar to if you try to monitor a P2 system on a scanner that is not capable of decoding that type of system. This is not a situation where the Unidens receive the system "better" than the RS/Whistler or something like that, the Pro-668 and TRX-1 get nothing at all. The T is blinking with a strong signal, but so sign of any activity during transmissions.
I've tried many of the usual suggestions such as turning on attenuation and experimenting with the data decode threshold values with no success.
I am just curious if anyone has run across anything like there where a particular brand of scanner will not receive a P2 system at all.
