Running the new firmware and seeing good results so far on 2 700mhz P25 systems that were coming in frustratingly bad before. UIDs are coming up consistently and no errant UIDs which is a funny problem that used to happen with one particular system. I will be attempting to pull in State of Delaware Public Safety Motorola Smartzone System in the coming days. I'm also anxious to see what my SDS100 does on a UHF T-Band conventional system that used to be barely perceptible while other equipment like the Unication G3 and Whistler TRX 1 came in almost perfect. More reports to follow!

Just took the update and will report changes if any. (y)
Thanks, since I only have one county with simulcast nearby and most of it is encrypted except automated fire dispatch, that leaves me with just P25 phase 1 systems or vhf, which all work ok with the original Dec. upgrades.

After updating late last night, I’ve noticed that audio on fire departments and med units is totally clear as opposed to previous garbled audio now and then. Also, must’ve done something for encrypted PD as I’m seeing more activity although you can’t hear it.

What kind of system are you monitoring?

Would this sub folder update be part of usual Sentinel update process ? Currently I am on FW 1.23.03 and i can hear occasional garble on a few P25P2 talk groups.
Thanks

I'm everywhere Focker!
If you loaded the test FW (1.23.03A) updating the sub via Sentinel will keep that version. So the IQ vs 4FSK will still work.

I'm assuming they are compatible. :ROFLMAO:

One thing I have noticed is audio from say a med
Dispatch channel and the display showing a completely different talk group? Crazy 😜. However it is intermittent and haven’t been able to duplicate unless it just happens by it self.

It could be that Uniden have tried to both loosen up the tolerances of digital decode and tighten it to see what works best, the same they did with RF gain and then choose what worked best for the majority of people. Too loose decode parameters will allow more to be decoded but will also create more false data.

I have also noticed more of no audio ENC talk groups pop up. This might validate what Ubbe is saying. Slight RSSI improvements on the only P25P2 system with the 2 sites that I am monitoring.
