EDACS Progamming question ARC996

[chrisnigro]

I am trying to program an Edacs system. I have the channels listed LCN.
There is a column for LCN - What goes in there (1,2,3,4...)??

I have tried a few things with no luck!

The top picture Hampton VA) is with LCN sequence in numerical order matching. Picture 2 (Bettendorf IA RACOM) is with skipped LCN but import is in numerical order. These are both for the 996. Picture 3 (Bettendorf IA RACOM) is import with the 785D which requires LCN to match the numerical order.

The LCN column should have the LCN value for the freq in it.

Just because you enter the freq into #1 in the software, doesn't mean that an LCN of 1 has been programmed.

I think most of my systems are programmed like the example on the left, where the # of the position also matches the value entered into the LCN column.

Sometimes when trying to figure out a system not listed on RR (especailly an LTR system) I will edit the LCN's to different values during the process of figuring out repeater numbers and end up with something that tracks correctly, but looks like the example on the right where the # and the LCN do not match.

If you are used to the Win96 or Win97 (and other) software where the memory channel number determines the LCN, this software doesn't work like that.
