[Scan-DC] Fairfax County System and the 250D

Thu, 9 Jan 2003 20:14:26 -0500

JC,

I tracked the Fairfax County system today as well, and the audio sounded
good.  I supposed I could have improved it, but I was in control channel
only mode, and I think you need a channel with P-25 voice on it to
adjust the audio settings.  But it really didn't need much improvement.

One thing I did notice is that the I-calls weren't coming through, even
with the I-call option turned on and with the I-call-only option.  I
know there were I-calls occurring because I saw them on the activity
indicator when the scanner was sitting on the control channel.  Is it
possible the BC250D can't decode Fairfax County's I-calls?  I remember
reading in the BC780 manual that Motorola I-call performance varies by
system.

Overall, it's a great scanner.

Dave

Subject: [Scan-DC] Fairfax County System and the 250D

Has anybody been able to track the Fairfax County
system with the new 250D?  All I am able to receive on
any of the digital talkgroups is a short burst of data
and then a low volume hum.  I had heard that this is a
3600 baud system, so I don't think that is the issue. 
Any suggestions?
