pro 96

[SWARD]

Trying to program my old pro 96 for a P25 system @ 9600 baud. Looking for the custom table.

Thanks.....

Hopefully it's not a 700mz system, because the 96 cannot receive 700mz.

Otherwise, I believe the band plan for most p25 systems is included in the control channel data, unlike Motorola. I presume that is what you mean by a custom table.

Unfortunately, the 96 is very old technology that requires a manual entry of the values for the trunking tables in some cases.

As this question is rather poorly worded, let's get some clarification...

a. Are you looking for how to access the custom table? Using which software (ARC96 or WIN96)?

b. Are you looking for the values for the custom table? Did you look in the database? Did you look in the wiki? For precisely what system (and you should know that this has probably been discussed in the Virginia forum)?

Please be a bit more verbose about what you're looking for...Mike

I'm willing to bet he's trying to follow up on this...

Yes I am trying to program my Pro 96 for the James City/York County P25 system. I understand that this system is at 9600 Baud. My BCD 436 is fine with this however my research for P26 custom tables Pro 96 I only find tables for 3600 systems. What am I missing? Help... Thanks

Rebanding tables usually apply to non-P25 systems (altho with the 96, this could be a part of the issue, too, since it's so old...). Did you try this as a straight Motorola system?

Yes did that, programmed 7 banks with same system P25 phase 1 APCO-25 Common Air Interface Exclusive. Used every option from basic Pro 96 down load not modified, Custom table for 3600 P25 then custom table for 9600, custom table, manual entry for 3600 and manual for 9600, and then just check the box for 800 mhz 9600 in the custom table. All banks up and running and no traffic. I get traffic on my BDC 436 but not on the Pro96. I "think" this may be a 9600 system by what I see on past posts. . I also think I tried every option. Am I missing something? Or can the old pro 96 not pull it off. Just wanted to use the old scanner at work.

Thanks for past and future help.

SWARD,

Since that system is 800 MHz, leave both 3600 and 9600 at Normal. You only need to make tables for VHF/UHF systems, not 800/900.

A commonly seen entry for 800 mHz P25 systems looks something like this:

Low Channel: 0
High Channel: 4095
Offset: 0
Base Frequency: 851.00625
Step 6.25

This is just a shot in the dark......If it doesn't work, it will require watching the control channel with either Pro96Com or Unitrunker to gather the information needed to draw up a table.
