What am I missing? I purchased the DMR key. Updated everything. Created a 3 new favorites list..1 Westerville City Schools…2 Columbus Ham DMR…3 Ohio Health – Central Ohio. Enabled correct service types and tried 3 different antennas…So far not 1 transmission has been received.

Send me your code plug RakkFO@gmail.com

We could go back and forth with check this and check that, each round will take 8 hours.

How do you have them programmed? Off top of my head I think I have Ham programed as single site.

If you park your scanner on W8TRB 145.370 or 443.150 do you get any decode?

RakkFO thanks for the quick response.

I am a little under educated here. I do not know what a code plug is.

All I did was go in to Sentinal clicked on each of the above and created 3 new favorite lists. I have had it on Westerville City Schools for about 2 hours with nothing at all. Before the switch to DMR (Last school year) I was able to hear the school and some buses most of the day.

He's referring to your Favorites lists.

Export them into *.hpe files, then email. He can then load them and see what needs to be done.

File->Export to *.hpe on the menu in Sentinel.

Sorry I did not even think about the terminology.

Let's start small. What scanner do you have?

It just occurred to me that if you are using Sentinel you must have a x36 series radio.

Go to settings then upgrade and DMR and let me know what you see

Ok so the ID: Search is set to off. Since there is no talk group id's programed the radio is searching for a known talkgroup but there are none.

Try setting ID: Search to on and let me know if there is any change. There is an icon with a star and pencil over top of it. Click that and the favorite list your DMR list is in, you should see ID: search. Double click on off and change to on.

Ok so program the frequencies as a conventional system to see if you get any hits. Try the Columbus amateur radio DMR repeater first.

Maybe you are not in range? Have you ever decoded DMR?

I will program my scanner with your data. When I go to Columbus I will scan and see if I get anything.

RakkFO – Thanks for all of the help. I have it working (somewhat) now.

W8RMH – I was reading about that yesterday and plan on giving it a try today.

So now you have it decoding you can hand program the TGID and see if that helps.

On the bottom right of your screen does it say CON or CON+

Also remember to submit the data you discover so the next person that wants to listen does not have to do all this work again please.
