449 UK simple irritating noise?

General scanning discussion forum. Talk about anything to do with scanners, equipment, VHF/UHF reception and the art of catching those illusive signals!

Pure DMR simplex doesn't require synchronisation as the timeslots are ignored. Dual Capacity Direct Mode and repeaters do, of course, require a timing sync signal from either a nominated timing leader or repeater. In both cases, lack of sync doesn't actually make things "fall apart", it's just impossible to gain access and you get the low beep of failure.

Thanks for that! I wondered how it all worked, I knew there was something to with timing but not sure what as I'm still new to it myself.

hi andy,(i think that you was the you that posted the original post) i have read all off the posts , and although i don't quite know what type of noise you are refering to , there is a company called lh agro which transmit data on lots of freqencies including 449.450 and they have something to do with farm machinery tractor data ect and can wipe out some of the 449 mhz chanells the other one is 453.550 , which is a common railtrack frequency. if you look on the ofcom website you will find out which other frequencies are affected . i have one of these transmitters about 10 miles from me and it some of the 449.mhz chanells are unuseable

Thanks for all the suggestions. It's DMR simplex by the sound of it. There seems to be more of it every day.

It seems more and more users are migrating to DMR so restricting the 449 and 458 MHz channels to analog only would just create a headache.
I believe as long as conforming to the license conditions then any mode of transmission is acceptable.

Time for DMR scanners. I haven't seen any DMR scanners about but I'm sure it wont be long now.

There are a couple handheld DMR radios that offer a scan function which scan color codes, time slots, and talk groups when a DMR signal is found.

Looking above £300 for a DMR scanner but they are out there and work.

using a baofeng dm1801 with the recently deceased opengd77 firmware, using it to listen into DMR. you can disable cc and tg filtering.

it can't scan ranges but i usually find frequencies via SDR.
