Downloading Freq from RR

[PCTEK]

I download frequencies from RR to my 396XT, 996XT and Pro-160. Do the frequencies on RR reflect the new 'rebanded' frequency? Do I need to program the rebanding info into all 3 scanners for each group of 800MHz frequencies I download or just put it in once per system/frequency?

Sorry for the rebanding question, but It's truly a pain for scanner users.

Yes, if the freqs have been reported, they should reflect rebanding changes, along with the DBA setting a flag to indicate this.

It's only a pain if you're using older programs that don't read the rebanded flag from RR. For example if FreeScan detects the rebanded flag on a trunk system (loading your 396XT or 996XT), it will automatically populate the default custom table values. I don't know about programs that support the 160 (did you mean the Pro-106 by chance?) but I would assume most of Assaf's programs will do likewise. Same with the Win500 and PSREdit programs, I would think

I use ARCXT Pro for the 396XT & 996XT and I use ARC160 for the Pro-160. I know when I donloaded the BART 800MHz freq to the Pro-160 (ARC-160 software) i had to put in the custom rebanding info. I don't think I had to do that on either Uniden.
