536HP: Program DMR single channel TS1 and TS2?

[jt777]

I have a single channel with a color code 7 and a TS1 and TS2. How do I program this with sentinel? I can do this no problem in the TRX-2, but can't figure out on Uniden. Thank you!

Buy the DMR upgrade. Program the frequency as an DMR One Frequency Trunked.

Thank you for responding. For clarification, I purchased the upgrade. Are you saying don't use Sentinel?

You can program it via Sentinel, in a Favorites list. Just select Edit for the Favorites list you want it in, then in the Editor window, add a new system. Use the DMR One Frequency Trunked if you want to use the TGID to monitor it. You could also do this directly in the scanner. But, if you add it to the Favorites list in the scanner instead of Sentinel, the next time you update the database and lists via Sentinel, your added system will be overwritten & deleted, unless you had 'read' the scanner back into Sentinel after you created the new system.

Unfortunately this is a shortfall of the 536. I have had the same frustrations when programming dmr conventional frequencies. The example I have is a company uses about 6 conventional dmr repeaters, both slots 1 and 2 as well as numerous conventional simplex dmr frequencies with both slots. I understand they say the each one has to be programmed as a single channel trunk system but that does not allow all the frequencies to be entered in under the same department. Does not make sense to have to create a system for each talkpath. I understand this has to do with scan speeds while scanning the dmr. Hopefully a further firmware will alllow dmr single channel trunk systems or program as conventional with slot and talkgroup ID.

I appreciate everyone's help - I still can't figure out how to do this. I thought I was fairly smart/technical but despite this (and my reading/experimentation) I still can't get it to work.

I have frequency 460.050, with color code 7 and TS1 and TS2 groups. Entering as single digital frequencies doesn't seem to work (TS option?) and adding as a DMR one frequency doesn't have a place to enter the frequency but a ton of other options in the department/site section.

What am I missing?

It's not intuitive, so don't feel bad.

Create a DMR One Frequency System.

Add one Site to that System, then add one Frequency to that Site and set it to the frequency of your "system", 460.050, with Color Code = 7.

Then add a Department to the System. You then add Channels to that Department. And in the Channels, you set the TGID and TDMA Slot.

I have the same situation. Unfortunately there are still some firmware issues that Uniden needs to address with the 536 and DMR. Even though the slot is selected sometimes the other slot comes through. I primarily am interested in Slot 1 but Slot 2 at random will open squelch even though the display indicates Slot 1. None of my other radios do this.

I have a SDS100. TS1 and TS2 are in the TDMA Slot. I just leave mine set to ANY. TDMA Slot is in the same table as Channel Name (Talkgroup name).

After you make a dept, then site, you can add frequencies.

I have these programmed as DMR One Frequency, with multiple sites (one for each rptr/freq), one common set of TGs.

I hope this helps.

Uniden had it fixed in a couple of earlier firmwares but the latest, and perhaps the one before, broke it and the 536 will sometimes decode other transmissions from the other slot while displaying the original TG and slot. When that happens there's no uid being displayed so it is a genuine firmware malfunction.

None of this makes any sense, and nearly all of this is wrong. One frequency systems allow slots and talkgroups to be programmed. Unless the same talkgroup ID is used on every frequency and timeslot, there is zero need to make a separate system for each frequency. A One Frequency system can have multiple sites, each with multiple frequencies if needed. And there is never a need to create separate systems for each timeslot on a frequency.
