Checked the license and its 8K10F1D and 8K10F1E - P25 Phase I C4FM So I am curious why UniTrunker reports P2 for channel access. Also seen Phase 2 mentions in pro96Com packet dump. ??? I can also confirm Uniden BCD996XT scanner tracks it just fine. I'm guessing that most, if not all, new P25 instal...

Cool! Well, I guess that means it at least has some Phase 1 talk groups! I will have to give it a listen again and see what I can get.

There's no setting on the Pro 96 for P25, if it's a digital signal, the radio automatically changes to "digital" mode from FM when it detects it. It only does that on this system randomly, mostly it stays FM. If it's Phase II, I guess it's trying to work but it can't. On the 396 if you're...

It's been a long time since I have used a Pro96 so I forgot how they worked. I looked over a manual and it appears that they may track P25 Phase 1 systems using the "Motorola" setting (a confusing misnomer, unfortunately). If I understand the manual correctly, the "Motorola" mode...

If it's P2 then that would explain the lack of any voice traffic for me! Too bad. Oh well. I only get a decent signal with my handheld when in certain locations but it is good and steady when in those locations. To sp1989: Again, you do NOT use Motorola mode - it is a true P25 system. On the 96, I a...

It programs in fine on my Phase 1 P25 capable scanner (PSR500); haven't heard any voice traffic yet but haven't listened to it much (out of my area).

Make sure you program it in as P25 Auto and not Motorola.

I had no idea. I always thought "fill-in" meant a system to supplement or improve comms on a TRS like the Cabazon and Jurupa channels were used as fill-ins. And you were right, "fill-in" does mean a system which will "fill-in" for a major system in areas where the majo...

The answer to that would depend entirely on the specific system architecture, details of which I don't necessarily have. Maybe one of the other engineering types here does. That said, the Motorola P25 7.x system architecture would normally be configured such that each site or cell (a cell being two...

A good part of the EDACS system overloading was caused by RSO operational procedures, and overall being cheap. For most of the system lifespan, data traffic was handled as individual calls using the trunked system. Also, with beat areas overlapping cell coverage, there were lots of patches, and int...

I think the "gist' of what I was getting at is that no system this "new" should already be experiencing system busies before even achieving the desired subscriber loading levels. EDACS has private calls enabled, PSEC does not. PSEC does however offer far better coverage and security....
