would like some suggestions if possible on what this might be. My BC780 seems to be deaf on all trunked freqs. I have 4 Trunked systems on my 780. All it does is scream thru the feqs and never locks onto a control channel. All the conventional stuff works fine. I have had it hooked up to 2 diff. antennas to test this. One being a radio shack mag mount inside my place here the other being a ground plane outside on my deck. With the conventional freqs I'm pulling stuff well over 60+ miles away easily.The trunking freqs are right within a few miles from my location. My Pro-97's have no issue scanning them at all, using a RS 800mhz duckie. I have programmed and re-programmed the freqs. I can't figure this out for the life of me. All the obvious stuff i have checked on the scanner, so i ask for help from you out ther now please. Could it be something in the trunking capabilities is broken? God I hope not. Just seems odd that 4 different trunked systems will not come in at all. :( |

You've probably tried most of these: 1) Program the same freq as 'conventional' and see if it sounds good. 2) Make sure you push "TRUNK". 3) Trunking type = Motorola etc? 4) Control channel only - even if the 'plan' is wrong, it should at least sit on the control channel. 5) Cycle power. 6) Hard reset (2+9+MAN). 7) Delete the bank completely or program a different bank. (Using s/w or keypad to program?) 8) Monkey with the squelch. There are a few failures that could kill trunking and not conventional, but I've never heard of one actually happening to anyone. Flash |

Could the CC be locked out somehow? If that doesn't work, I'd do a hard reset. |
