Help with SDRTrunk programming DMR

[bobruzzo]

I want to program the following amateur radio DMR repeaters but this data is NOT available in the RR database and I have no clue how to do this manually:

53.5800	0 MHz	CC1 RAN	Warwick	Kent	KA1MXL	OPEN	DMR DSTAR EchoLink IRLP NXDN Fusion
145.3300	-0.6 MHz	CC2	Bristol	Bristol	K1CW	OPEN	DMR	NEDECN	NEDECN
145.3700	-0.6 MHz	CC2	North Providence	Providence	N1JBC	OPEN	DMR	NEDECN	NEDECN
146.6250	-0.6 MHz	CC1 146.2 / 146.2	Cumberland	Providence	W1DMR	OPEN	FM DMR	BrandMeister	BrandMeister US
447.7250	-5 MHz	CC2	Johnston	Providence	W1OP	OPEN	DMR	NEDECN	NEDECN

It would help if you told us model of scanner, also what software are you using?

Are the one with SDS200???

Anyway, create a Favorites List. Create a One-Frequency DMR system. You will need to create it looks like 5 'sites' within that system, one for each frequency. Enter one frequency into each site. Make sure to turn ID Search on, I think it is in System Settings. Create a Department if any of the Talkgroups are known.

Of course, all of this is much easier using software. Can be done with Sentinal, Proscan, or Butel's Arcpro.
If using Sentinal, I can't help you. Never liked that program myself.


Is that right, DMR on 6 meters?

It would also help if you read the thread title and looked at which forum he posted in. Very clearly asking about SDRTrunk, not a scanner.

Oops, sorry. Was on my phone, didn't see that.

OK to start you need to click playlist editor go to channels then click new then subset DMR enter the info hit save and you should be good to go

I am using rtl-sdr dongle. I am currently using it to monitor the state P25 simulcast system. But there are a handful of DMR ham repeaters I would like to listen to. I am planning on getting the DMR upgrade for my Uniden BCD996p2 but having trouble ordering it on the "MyUniden" site where it is $60. So until then I would like to use the dongle for now. Yes, there is a DMR repeater here on 6 meters.

OK I will give that a shot and see if I can get it to work....here is how I programmed it, but what about the other things like "RAN" and CC?? How do I input those?

I think cc is only needed on a trunking system on mine it reads the radio IDs and ts Time slot this is how mine is set up all I did was put in the freq you can mess with aliases and TG once you make sure its working

Well it worked very well! I simply followed your instructions and its working fine. Thank you.

CC is used on other types of DMR as well, not just trunking. It is sometimes compared to using PL on an analog system, and when programming a DMR radio is included on each frequency entry on a tier II radio.
