lloking for transmit & recieve codes for relm radio

[hotvw2004]

i need codes for countys in tennessee.

 

[AndrewGeil]

Are you referring to CTCSS/PL tones?

 

[hotvw2004]

not sure

therell be a number like 154.680 then a repeater number like 12 then another number 153.759 then repeater number again also 0000 after each number.

 

[AndrewGeil]

Uh. Maybe you're looking at the number thats associated with a PL tone? So, 12 is... 100.0 ?

 

[hotvw2004]

example

ok heres how it gos. 155.750 then 12 then 0000 155.964 then 12 then 0000

 

[AndrewGeil]

My guess is that's your PL tone, which would be 100.0.

Otherwise, you'd have to show me where you're looking at that. The number "12" doesn't tell you much.

 

[hotvw2004]

no help

then i guess you dont know much about relm radios.

Andrew, it does appear that HotVW is asking for the PL codes, but doesn't know it. My friend Google led me to this site which seems to use numbers that correspond with the PL tones.

HotVW, you need to find the PL/CTCSS tones listed in the RR Database, and then use the chart on the above link to convert them to the number.

Re: no help

I use them every day. I program mine whenever I need too. You're the one not able to tell me what the "12" means. I've told you what it likely is. Relm's (I'm assuming you're talking about a 599 or such here) require the tone be entered directly (IE: 103.5, not "13"), so....

 

[hotvw2004]

sorry

its a relm whs 150 and i also use mine everyday. i know how to program it thats not the problem i just need some new freqs to put in it. the number 12 is the repeater number our radios here hit a repeater then bounce off and signals go to the jail etc.

Here's a theory - I don't know anything about the area in question, but he keeps mentioning that it's a "repeater" number. Could it be that certain repeaters have certain CTCSS/PL codes enabled? Here, the police have multiple sites hey can access, which they know as a letter-number combination. For example, B2 and B7 are the same frequency but two different PLs, 123.0 and 131.8. So a regular user of the system might know it as simply "B2" or "B7". Or, in this case, "repeater 12".

If that makes sense, then the issue stands - the original poster needs to figure out what repeater site 12's properties are. There must be a PL code or something similar in there.

EDIT: After looking at the link posted above, I stand corrected - yes, it is the PL code as listed on that website. I concur that "12" = 100.0.

 

[hotvw2004]

all im needing is the numbers for instance lets say 159.948 and 164.932 get what i mean. its hard to explain.

 

[Jay911]

It definitely must be hard to explain, because I don't understand. You just specified the frequencies. What everyone is telling you is that the other set of numbers you seem to need are the CTCSS/PL codes. These aren't automatically defined.. it all depends on the installation the radio system is using. Just because one agency uses PL 100.0 on frequency 167.535 doesn't mean that all agencies use that same setup. You can have any PL code or no PL code at all. It depends on the way the system was designed/set up.

Ultimately, the solution is going to need more information on your end. Saying "I need the codes for counties in Tennessee" and "It's 159.948 and 164.932" is not exactly helpful. Imagine saying you need the phone number for a company in Tennessee. "Come on, guys, it's 1-800-something. Help me!"

I have a question, though - if this is 'your' system, can't your company provide you with the proper information you need for the radio programming?
