Occasionally, when I monitor a Motorola trunked system only, the radio will drop the control channel and find it again. Why?
You will only notice this condition when you are trunking a single Motorola trunked system and no conventional frequencies, and the system you are monitoring is completely quiet for 10-15 seconds. The reason this is happening is that the scanner believes it may have lost the control channel as it has not received any talkgroup data for the aforementioned period of time. While the radio generally will recover the control channel in 800 milliseconds, you can try to mitigate this even further by putting using Control Channel trunking and placing the channels as the first frequencies in the appropriate bank. This gives the scanner fewer channels to check. Almost all users will find that this issue is so insignificant as to not require any special programming. “It’s a feature, not a bug!
