I've spent nearly 2 hours attempting to program my 396T for my trip to Minnesota with Freescan. I'd like to have the systems for the Twin Cities area, the systems along 94 and the systems in the Stearns County/St. Cloud area.
Getting the systems to fit is no problem, but getting the Law Enforcement, DNR, State Patrol and Fire talkgroups to fit in each system is a whole 'nother can of night crawlers altogether, since the 396T limits me to 200 talkgroups per system.
I'm stuck, I'm frustrated and I figure I'm going about this all wrong. There's gotta be a better way and I figure I should ask some Locals how they have it programmed.
I'll be in the Twin Cities and staying in Dakota County for a few days then traveling to Stearns County and staying there for the majority of my visit. I'd like to be able to Monitor Law/Fed/EMS/Fire in the Cities, I'd like to be able to monitor State Patrol on the move from the Twin Cities to Stearns County (don't worry I have my General Class amateur license, and will bring a laminated copy with me) and I'd like to be able to monitor Law/Fed/EMS/Fire and DNR while there.
If anyone can provide me with some pointers (or even freescan files) I'll happily bring my Unitrunker setup and confirm talkgroups, scan for new ones, confirm sites, do whatever is needed to help improve the DB listings in the Stearns County area, and any other nearby areas if I get time. And if you travel to California, I'd be happy to provide you with all my files.
I'll also bring my 2m/440 HTs with me so if you're licensed, send me a PM and I'll give you a call on your local repeater if I'm in the area.
