Dekalb P25 TRS need help

stonek554 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-10-2013, 11:16 AM

Does anyone have a current scan of Dekalb's P25 system? I am trying to id the control channels, System id, WACN, RFSS, and site. I know these are already posted in the database, but something appears to have recently changed as my radio will not pick up the system anymore.

Stonek554 - I work in DeKalb and monitor them constantly and the data here on RR for them is current and correct. What more can I tell you?

I am using a Harris XG-100. For some reason I am not picking up the Dekalb control channel anymore.

Unless you are authorized on their system, they can shut your radio down.This is why most use a scanner capable of receiving P-25 signals.

The radio is set to not affiliate and has transmit capabilities disabled. With no system key, no affiliation, and not transmit enabled it is basically an expensive scanner. For systems I am authorized on I have full capabilities. Just prefer to use one radio.

XG100...I'm jealous.
The network info hasn't changed, my agency issued XTS has not be reprogrammed in two years on Dekalb's system and it is working fine.
