DMR in the dB

UPMan · Aug 22, 2016

As of this morning, DMR systems and channels are included in the BCDx36HP database. The data pull is from last Friday. I'm doing another pull today that will issue tomorrow that will be more current.

We know that there are many, many systems that still need some work in RRDB, but this pretty much concludes our major development on DMR for these scanners. Now its up to you to submit new/corrected info to this site.

As always, tremendous thanks for you and your team - it is appreciated.

Discovery and Analyze sure would come in handy to submit or correct information.

UPMan, are the encryption channels being excluded from the download?

Hooray thank you !!!

UPMan aka Paul, Thank You!

Thanks this will be very handy.

I do have a question some systems have been entered in the DB as conventional. Lets say companyA has a frequency 123.500 they use TG 100 on slot 1 and TG 200 on slot 2. Those may show up in the RRDB separate differentiated by TG. When downloaded to sentinel since it doesn't get the TG in conventional it shows up as a duplicate with no differentiation.

This seems to be how most one frequency DMR have been entered in RRDB?

Thanks again for all the hard work

But....But.....IT'S NOT FRIDAY!!...........

(With apologies to Jay911 for beating him to the punch.)

Thanks again for the Uniden teams hard work.

Just in time for my trip to Wisconsin! Thanks, Paul! And the team!

I noticed DMR trunked sites which do not have any talkgroups defined do not get downloaded to sentinel. Is this by design?

That's the way all trunked systems have been handled since day one, so probably yes.

How do I access this database?

z31jaime · Aug 24, 2016

Buy a 436hp or 536hp and it's the database that gets loaded from radioreference to the scanner using Sentinel

But all freqs are listed so they can be loaded as conventional with color codes. In the case that two departments use the same freq AND color code, I guess you'll just have to listen and figure out who's talking.

BTW, has anyone been able to load a Mototrbo system and have it work properly? I have 2 in my area with no luck and have them loaded as conventional.

But in the case of DMR I think that is counterproductive. It's those systems without talk groups that many of us could set to "search" and try to identify TGs that might be added to the database. I think all known DMR trunked systems even if currently no identified TGs should be included.

Search does not show talkgroups, only color codes and slots.

ID Search while listening to the system will show talkgroups

Jay911 · Aug 24, 2016

Here's the thing, though: The HomePatrol scanner was designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator - or to put it in a nicer way, to inexperienced and "newbie" scanner users. They're supposed to be able to just turn it on and start listening. For that reason, ID Search is not available from within the main database. You wouldn't want Grandma to be confused as to why she's suddenly hearing "Unk TG: 10046" talking about sewer lines instead of her grandson Johnny on his police beat.

Because of the fact that ID Search is unavailable (and thus ID Scan is the only option for trunk systems) in the main DB, having a trunk system which has no talkgroups showing up in the main DB is pointless, because it has no talkgroups to scan.
