IDAS help

Does IDAS use RAN codes?

Does IDAS systems use a RAN code? I am monitoring a system that is using IDAS but my software does not display a RAN number. It also displays group call, TG # 33554433, but no ran code and when i program that tg into my radio, which is a icom F4262, the software changes the TG # to a different number. The freq is 463.450, IDAS site 13. Oh, i am decoding with dsd+. Thanks all

They can. But they don't have to. And you don't need to use a RAN in order to monitor NXDN/Idas conventional.

As for the talkgroup changing, I don't have the software open in front of me but if my memory serves me, there is a separate list to input your talkgroup number and in the frequency table you select the list number rather than input the talkgroup ID there. Is that what you're looking at?

i think the frequency i am trying to program into my radio is conventional. I tried to use tg 65535 with a ran of 0 and 1, and get nothing. On my software, under the digital folder, I have individual talkgroups and a tab called talkgroup and individual setting and talk group setting. I have an Icom F4262. Program software is CS-F3160, if that helps.

Can anyone tell me if there us a specific talkgroup number on an IDAS system for a "groupcall"? I have a Icom 4262D radio and was told that it was TG#65500, but I am not sure if that is Kenwood only and if Icom has there own TG for a group call.

Each talk group has their own version of the all call it depends on the system.

ok I am monitoring a system here in southwest Pennsylvania on 463. 450 a gas company out of Washington County they are operating on a idas system. I am listening to it through dsd plus dsoftware. It shows a group call of 3355443. when I go to program that into my digital radio programming software the software kicks that talk group out and changes it to something else. I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

Any ideas rapidcharger?

I'm wondering if that's a bug in DSD+... I believe the highest talkgroup # allowed is 65535.

Hello,

Yes. I found bugs in DSDPlus when decoding IDAS systems.

Notice that DSDPlus is logging TG 16777314 in the event log while displaying TG 1-98 in the receive window.

I found out that the frequency i want to monitor is a ltr single site trunked system. I was told the tg for a group call is 2407. I put 2407 in my radio but get nothing. I programmed it in as a new zone and changed it from conventional to ltr single-site trunked. programming this radio is really frustrating I don't know what I'm doing wrong

 

[jeffm77]

is anyone familiar with the programming software for the icom 4262 radio? I wonder if I'm entering the talk groups wrong and is it necessary to program in radio IDs I was told that radio IDs were primarily for transmittingnot for receive purpose only. but I noticed on DSD plus for some systems I get a talk group of an example 1 - 2 how do you program a talk group into the software 01-02 because when I tried to enter that into the talk group table the software just changed it to it too a 2.

 

[slicerwizard]

a) 2407 isn't a valid LTR ID.

b) People who can't program two way radios shouldn't program two way radios...
