Maricopa Co.

[Phoenix805]

I've got Maricopa Co programmed into my GRE 500, but I get absolutely NOTHING! I can program using either the radio or the software, and I have Phoenix and Glendale working great. But nothing for the county. I'm sure its an id10t programming problem, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

What part of Phoenix you in and what system are you programming in? I notice your Profile says NW Phoenix, are you putting in White Tanks or Thompson Peak freqs?

[Phoenix805]

I put White Tanks in first. I can hit WT 2 meter ham repeater with 1/2 watt HT, so I would hope I can receive the County signals OK. After not getting anything I added Thompson Pk and Downtown Phoenix. Can you group 3 sites together, or does that make matters worse?! Thanks for any help.

Try entering White Tank only. I'm guessing you'll have better results.

I took out Thompson Pk altogether, then seperated White Tanks and Central Phoenix into two different systems. I did notice I'm not getting the ' T ' on the display that should indicate it's getting control channel Trunking information.

I only put the control freqs in, like the Phoenix P25 system, but this is a Motorola 2 800 system. Do I need to enter all the freqs? I couldn't find any info on this from either my frequency directory or the scanner manual. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
