This sounds alittle familiar.  At my work (St Louis City 911/Dispatch
in St Louis, Missouri) our XTS-3000s series & STX-800 series radios will 
receive the APBs   But our uniden model trunktrackers do not receive it.
To fix this, you're going to need to turn 'OFF' the 'Status Bit' Mode on your 
Uniden TT.  Then program in the ID+7 of every Dispatch talkgroup into a 
blank 'SCAN LIST' bank.  Make sure this new 'SCAN LIST' bank is 'ON' 
and include it in your normal scans.  I will use St Louis City (Missouri) 
in the following examples:

-Normal Talkgroups-
57360 - Dist 1 & 2
57392 - Dist 3
57424 - Dist 4 & 5
57456 - Dist 6 & 8
57488 - Dist 7
57520 - Dist 9
57552 - SODD
57584 - BOI
57712 - INFO A
57744 - INFO B

To get your Uniden TT to catch all of the Dispatcher APBs, incliude 
the following IDs in a blank 'SCAN LIST' bank, and include it during 
normal 'ID SCAN'.  (Turn OFF 'Status Bit' Mode)

-ID+7 of every PD dispatch talkgroup-
57367 - DIst 1 & 2
57399 - Dist 3
57431 - Dist 4 & 5
57463 - Dist 6 & 8
57495 - Dist 7
57527 - Dist 9
57559 - SODD
57591 - BOI
57719 - INFO A
57751 - INFO B

(Remember just to modify the above ; to the configuration of your local
system.  I used the City of St Louis, Missouri as the examples above)
