I've emailed Uniden several times about this but haven't gotten a response
so I thought I'd post here. I'm using a Uniden BC296D and have the Tempe PD
trunk system set up in bank 1. They are on a Motorola Type II 800mhz analog
system. Some days it works as expected, scanning the trunking system and
showing the talk group when it lands on something. Other days it scans the
bank as conventional channels but doesn't land when there is activity on the
channel. I know this because if I put it on a channel manually I can hear
the traffic when that channel is active. The display still shows as a
motorola type system but scans as conventional channels. I thought maybe
there was a control freq that I didn't have programmed even though,
according to all the resources I've checked, I had all 10 of the freqs in
the bank and configured properly for the Tempe PD Motorola Type II system.
I decided to put the Phoenix trunk system in bank 2 and the Mesa Type II
digital in bank 3 to test to see if it was just the Tempe, AZ PD trunking
system that was doing this. Low and behold, when one isn't working neither
are the others. I've tried a different anntenae just in case I was getting
bad reception on the control channels for some reason and tried in different
parts of my home. It has me stumped. I listened to it all day yesterday
and had no problem with monitoring trunk systems. I turn it on this morning
and it isn't working. It's been going on like this since I got the BC296D.
I previously had a BC245XLT and had not problems at all and used it for a
couple years. Any ideas about what could be causing this would be
appreciated.
