Help with figuring out/programming

[DeputyKinser]

Long story short, i want a personal radio that has our PD freq on it my job has XPR3500Es that pick up the police, but i cant figure out how to get them to receive on my radio. i have a DMR and analog radio and cant seem to pick them up, its Lebanon police dept. Marion County, Kentucky (KY) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference im very new at this, im betting with analog than digital, but the PD is what i need to be able to receive any help is apricated sorry if this is in the wrong board too

Looks as if Marion Co. is FMN which is just analog, though I could be wrong. Do you have a analog scanner to program and try? I can pick up Lebanon PD on a search no problem with my TRX-2, pretty sure it shows as a conv frequency when it locks in. I'm not the greatest on new tech myself so if I'm wrong someone correct me, my feelings will not be hurt at all.

You need to talk to the person who gives radios out at work to have them add the police to your scan list. Professional radios rarely allow new channels from field program

i have programmed analog to their freq the 154.785 specifically, and i dont hear anything, maybe their tone is inverted ?

Try it using carrier squelch. With no PL or DPL programmed, you will hear everything on that frequency.

if you are able to pick them up, which freq is it that they're talking on if you could provide that lol

okay ill try that

!54.785 is also licensed for P25 and NXDN. Set audio type to Any or Auto.

My county uses kenwoods i believe its an NX-3000?? unsure of the model, both MCSO and LPD they don't use P25 or NXDN for sure because our XPR3500es pick up the LPD/MCSO logically thinking would tell me that theyre either DMR or analog still, someone tell me if my thinking is wrong,

 

[mastr]

This is interesting. That is all I will say.

Can you attach a small file of the XPR3500E receiving LPD/MCSO?

I would if I had it here right now

/ id know what id need to do if i had it to upload lol

tried this, no luck just static when someone keys up i believe

NX-3000's will only support Analog and either DMR or NXDN.

If you are a deputy of this department, contact your chief:

ATTN POLICE CHIEF
Phone (270)692-2121
FAX (502)692-4638

If you are using your own radio for receiving only, they should not have an issue with that.

If your radio is set up for analog receive, and you hear buzzing, then they are likely running DMR.

If you hear static, it's possible that you are either too far away from their transmitter to receive them well, or there is an issue with your radio. If this is a used radio, then you need to consider that it's been abused and is in need of help.

However, getting accurate information off what is essentially a hobby website isn't the correct way to do this. As a deputy, you should be able to go to your chief and get the correct information if they want you to have it.

And,
Remember, set it up for RECEIVE ONLY. If you want to transmit, there's a few FCC regulations that come into play here that will require you taking some extra steps.

I guess ill have too lol, this was an at home tinkering thing for me, ill just get to the point and get it done then.

It's a good idea to do that either way.

If you plan on programming the radio to transmit (even if you have no immediate plans to transmit with the radio, or will only do it in "emergencies"), make 100% sure you get written approval to do so from your chief. Do not skip this part. There are some very specific FCC rules that require you have permission from the licensee to even have the frequencies programmed into the radio to transmit (even if you never hit the PTT button). It's much easier to ask permission before hand.

talked with cheif, confirmed is digital freq he isnt sure of anything else though as far as CC SL or TG # curious question as well, is TG super important in DMR or if you omit a TG number will you just hear all traffic similar to not having a DCS/DPL where you just get all traffic on that freq
