SCANNING THE AIRWAVES SINCE 1987
Was heading up towards Midway this afternoon, so I decided to enter this system into my 346XT. Unfortunately I didn't hear anything except some hissing and static every now and then.
When I got home and checked my scanner settings against the database, everything looked to be in perfect order. But then I dug a little deeper.
From the look of things, a custom band plan is needed for this system, which was imported along with the freqs and tgid's. However, when I manually go into the scanner settings, band plan 1 is looking for upper and lower base frequencies. The system ( Scanner Frequencies: Chicago Midway Airport -- Department of Aviation - UHF-T Trunking System, Chicago, Illinois ) only shows 1 base freq... 474.0000. Should this be entered as the lower or higher base freq? And if the radio does need two freqs, how can I determine what the other freq is?
If anyone has a 346XT and has this system successfully programmed into their radio, I would greatly appreciate a tip or two as to how to get it working in mine.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
