I'm trying to program my first digital trunking system into my new Uniden BCD996P2 scanner. I am trying to program the Nebraska Statewide Radio System: Nebraska State Radio System Trunking System, Statewide, Nebraska - Scanner Frequencies
It is a multi-site APCO 25 system which I have selected. I first understood that I can use "Control Channel Only" and only need to program in the primary control channel and alternate control channel which I did but got nothing.
Each site has 2 or 3 other frequencies (not sure what these are even for - can somebody answer me?) so I attempted to program in the other 2 or 3 frequencies for each site and still nothing.
I tried both the 800 standard system and 800 splinter system but still nothing.
I guess my next step is to use the band plan option, even though I thought that APCO 25 systems would automatically relay this info through the control channels. But to program in the band plan, I need the base frequency and spacing. The trunking table here on RadioReference shows the first row as 851.00625 with spacing of 6.25. This worked, but the next line has a base freq. of 762.00625 which is an invalid frequency.
What am I doing wrong? And what are those other frequencies listed along with the red and blue control channel frequencies?
