Imagine knowing that your scanner radio has a full signal, but you can't hear anything.
Maybe you're listening to a p25 trunk system,  but you can't listen to any of the activity. 
You can see your scanner is trying to go to a voice channel. It's trying to work.   But you hear nothing. 
How frustrating does this sound?
For many, this is a common occurrence when they try to listen to a P25 Simulcast site on their scanner radios.
Let’s figure out why this is happening and some simple solutions you can try to overcome simulcast.
