I think there have been several updates since this, mainly involving re-banding which doesn't effect us, but I believe the latest available version is V3.60? I doubt it would be a firmware issue as the owners manual says all 796's will do P25 UHF?
Just to double check your APCO-25 card is installed and enabled, does it flash up on the screen at start-up and if you go into the System Menu, is P-25 Card enabled?
I looked at my trunk settings and I still have the old Type II Base Config settings in there from before P25:
Trunk Type=ON
4: TYPE2/P25 UHF
Base Freq: 413.1000 Step: 12.5 Offset: 723
Base Freq: 415.0000 Step: 12.5 Offset: 748
Base Freq: 415.5750 Step: 12.5 Offset: 380
I think I changed some setting when I changed over to P25 but I can't remember what it was?
I have all the freqs from each site each in their own bank, each freq is set to trunk and I have all the voice freqs locked out so it only scans the control channels. When scanning, M comes up on the screen and when it scans an active CC freq, it pauses and DAT comes up on the screen, if there's no traffic it continues scanning but if there is traffic it changes to the voice freq and shows the talkgroup.
If you are getting the DAT but it's not going to the voice channel, I would say the problem lies with how the voice channels are entered?
Did you ever have it working on the old Type II system? Maybe that would be a good place to start?

Thanks Andrew, I basically had all those settings you had and still nothing, with card enabled and working. I've got 8 other banks doing Type II with no probs. The only difference is I don't have any TGs entered into the P25 bank, I'm searching only. Are you able to search the banks OK?
Also, do you have all the VFs, including old analogue VFs programmed into your P25 bank or only the P25 digital VFs?
Thanks
