If you go to the Database for Utah and look at just the
conventional frequencies, you will find many that belong to cities, police, fire, Forest Service, etc but none are AVAILABLE for import using the Import feature of WIN500.
I had wanted to import the frequencies for Murray City PD which are not on UCAN's trunked system. They run their own radio system and although they are using 800 MHz frequencies, they are used as conventional rather than trunked. These frequencies do NOT show as available for import in WIN500. None of the frequencies on the page linked above show up in the WIN500 Import utility. Why are these frequencies, such as the Forest Service, not available? With fire season coming on, these frequencies can be of prime interest.
Is it because they are not recognized as systems in their own right? I believe that Murray City is a system. Just wondering.
ka3jjz seems to think that this is an interface problem within WIN500. Something about a new SOAP interface that is going to be used beginning in July.

The FreeScan screen is shown here and
the WIN500 screen is shown here. Quite a difference.
Don, please read
this thread to see what I am speaking about.
