Hunters Ambulance

[creeme]

Anyone know what happened with Hunter's Ambulance? They have been on the Marcus Durham site for several years but now suddenly they are gone.

 

[cg]

They are on the Marcus DMR Tier III system.

Can we still pick them up

 

[a417]

Do you have a scanner that can decode DMR Tier III?

 

[cg]

It is a Hytera Tier III system, the Uniden DMR scanners cannot trunktrack it due to supposed firmware issues. It has been brought to the attention of Uniden

 

[55engine]

What scanner can do that tier 3

 

[cg]

Uniden scanners can normally do Tier III but the Hytera system has something that prevents the Unidens from working. Give it a try.
The Avon Site is using DSDPlus:
463.51250 LSN 2165 CC
451.37500 LSN 223
452.15000 LSN 347
452.85000 LSN 459

Figure out the Uniden LCNs and program it up.

 

[55engine]

How do I set it up And will a whistler work

 

[a417]

...which whistler?

 

[55engine]

I’m sorry I have a UNIDEN I was trying to figure out how to set it up but I was wondering if whistler would work great For the tier 3

 

[a417]

Ah, @cg made a good suggestion to give it a try. If you already have a UNIDEN, you might as well give it a go.

 

[55engine]

I did I still get nothing but the control channel flashes

I’ve never had an issue with it on my sds100. It’s one of my preset trunks that I listen to occasionally

 

[cg]

what are the Uniden LCN channels you are using? I have tried all sorts of combinations for the 996P2 and have had no luck. I don't want to tie up one of my SDS200s but I can give it a try.

 

[SP101]

As of the other day, 461.78750 was still functional as a simulcast.

 

[55engine]

What LCN I let you know and yes 461.7875 it’s a simulcast and the trunk system is working a little bit I went to Meriden yesterday I’m still going to continue playing with the system I also heard it sounds like a tow truck company and the airport I know for a fact that hunter ambulance talkgroup is 6689676 And I know there’s also Bus RADIOS on there too and I think hunters Dial a ride

 

[cg]

The DMR standard allows for what they call a CPS-P3 dialing scheme. DSDPlus can be set up to show TGs and radios correctly. The Hytera Tier III uses this and as a result, the talkgroups are in a different format. (I think of it being similar to the old EDACS systems.)
The Hunters groups I have logged so far are:
500-70-900 - Was originally EMS Disp when it was patched, perhaps ATG?
500-70-902
500-70-903 - EMS Dispatch
500-70-904
500-70-905 - Chaircar Dispatch?
500-70-906
500-70-908

Which is a pain in the ass for Uniden owners, because the Unidens will display these as those seven digit numbers starting with 6xxxxxx.
It would be nice to see DSDPlus display them in the format the Unidens do, or have the Unidens show the CPS-P3 style.

 

[55engine]

How do we do dsdplus

 

[cg]

DSDPlus follows the standards so it would be for Uniden to change, which would be unlikely.

DSDPlus Notes tells how to do it. You add CPS-P3 after the size in the .Networks file. It would look something like:
TIII, 13, "Marcus Tier III", 5, CPS-P3

Keep in mind that TIII system ID default is 13 so it would change every system that uses the default. I would recommend using the Custom NetID which is also discussed in the Notes file.
