Motorola Visar frequency finding????

[sunfireguy]

My work has just gotten a new radio system, the are using the motorola visar radios, I was able to get a hold of one so that I could copy down the model number.

H05WCD4CB1BN, now I did a cross reference on the net for this model number.

http://www.batlabs.com/visar.html, this is the website that I came across.

Type II System Radios
H05UCD6CF1BN 4 Systems, 4 Talkgroups, 2 Character Top Display, 3-Watt, 806-866MHz
H05WCD4CB1BN 4 Systems, 4 Talkgroups, 2 Character Top Display, 3-Watt, 896-902MHz

Now my question is this system is a type 2 trunk right? How would I go about finding out the frequencys for it. I have a bc246t with the close call feature.. Can anyone help me find out how to do get thier system? I am new to scaning please help

Try going here: http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR and go to the FCC database and enter the state/ entity (, company, etc.). The license information & frequencies should be in there. If it's 800, it's probably trunked, but I guess that's not always the case. It could be a type II system, but it's hard to say. I guess you've looked for your company's information in the RR database. You should be able to identify a control channel from the fcc frequency list if it is trunked.

What city/state is this in and what company is this?

The 4th character in a Motorola model number is always the band split. A W-split radio is in the 900mhz band. The model number will unfortunately give you no help in getting info on whether the system is Type I or Type II or whatever - except that I don't think there is such a thing as Type I 900mhz.

I don't have 900mhz systems in my area, so I don't know if this is right, but in the 800mhz part of the band, the inputs are 45mhz below the outputs. So if your 800mhz radio system has frequencies on 866.x, your Close Call results should be in the 821.x range. Apply the same thinking to the 900mhz band and you should be able to figure it out (if you can get any Close Call hits).

The band split for 900Mhz systems is 39Mhz IIRC. So take the close call reading, and add 39Mhz for the repeater frequency. Then search the FCC database for that frequency to find the system.

Programing a Motorola uhf visar radio

I need someone who i can send my motorola uhf visar radio to that can program it to scan and to fix one channel, if anyone can help please let me know.

If you have a radio with Close Call, make use of it! That's your quickest way to find what frequencies they are using.....Then search the surrounding frequencies looking for a control channel (if it is indeed trunked). Close Call may pick up the control channel on its own too.

Go to any local radio shop. It should cost about $20.00

And another victim falls for a three year old thread!
