OKWIN Site 8 Rebanding Issues

2 851.0125MHz 868.9875MHz 0 + 25 kHz

P.S. There is a digital error in my initial post and I cannot correct it. Do not use it as a reference for the frequencies.

P.P.S. The freescan app has an auto upper limit calculation feature that returns different values for the upper limit than those in the Uniden table. I used the Uniden frequencies instead.

Well I used a program called Proscan that I had on my laptop and finally got it all entered on my 796D. Seems like once I got control channel control re-enabled it all seems to work fine thus I didn't need to enter all those new freqs.. Funny my 796D display now shows up a Mot type 1 system now but if it works that just cosmetic. One programmed now one more to go.

We've been pointing that out for a week - only the DB Admin can fix it.

Has the OKWIN P25 sites been Rebanded yet?

Roger that.

Well, looks like my BC785D is pretty much relegated to scanning agencies like Oklahoma County Fire and OCSO. Guess that's the way things progress.

This is just part of the rebanding of site 8 folks!

I was messaging with KX5MOT and he inadvertently answered a question that I had about the frequencies still in use that are above 854 MHz which are not for public safety use after rebanding.

All of the frequencies currently in use on site 8 are not rebanded frequencies. Eventually, none of the frequencies on site 8 will be above 854 MHz. That means the current control channel 857.9375 is going to disappear one day and a frequency below 854 MHz is going to take its place. At some point, which for me is probably tomorrow, the new frequencies need to be programmed into scanners so they can find the new control channel when the change is made.

I am glad I went ahead and entered every frequency listed for site 8 into the 796d while I had it linked to my laptop..

Do any other uniden owners use the control channel control method? I set mine up that way but I still feel I may not still be hearing all the traffic but it is hard to tell.

I use control channel only. If your rebanding tables are correct, that should ensure you're getting everything. You might double check your entries. I entered one digit wrong and it messed up the tracking.

Before I changed the site and tables, in addition to light traffic, the display was acting erratic. It looks normal now.

Here is a shot of how I have it programmed. Seems like it is working pretty good. Though the display kind of jerks around a little bit. Thanks for the suggestions.

I checked your entries against mine and they match. You should be OK.
