: Is my scanner broken or was something wrong with the trunked system in Seattle? I'm downtown, with Columbia Tower frequencies plugged in. I'm scanning the main SFD and SPD channels and I just heard a long period (at least 20 minutes) of silence. I had the scanner on and wasn't really paying attention, and then I realized that I hadn't heard anything for a while.
: Even on search, it didn't find any talkgroups with activity. It found the control channel, even after a power-cycle, but no active talkgroups. And I know the receiver was working because I could manually tune to a WX frequency. Then, just as suddenly as it stopped working, it started again.
: Weird...
See the post about control channels on 8-27. Rest assured the system users are still working OK. And there is probably nothing wrong with your scanner.
