on 861.7625 racom ch when it scans it won't stop on that freq but when i hit man i can hear what's goin on, and no i didn't lock it out

 

[BaLa]

huh..

 

[BaLa]

oops delete..

 

[dragonball]

in other words it won't stop on that freq when some one is talking

 

[firefighter89]

What type of system are you trying to listen to? You may not have it programmed correctly.

 

[BaLa]

I knew what you meant..

You did not give enough info, I'm assuming THIS is the system you are talking about.

I will also assume you are trying to Monitor Site 1106 or 4106. Those are the only 2 sites that have that frequency in the DB.

Site 1106 does NOT have a CC listed.
Is there an active CC that you can pickup.

Do you know if this system is programmed correctly.
Does the Scanner follow anything on that system?

Don't know offhand either, you said you can't pickup whatever is on that frequency. If it's an ICall the Pro96 can't pick those up.


If it's a different system we need to know which one.

Actually while scanning the RACOM system, the frequencies aren't all that important if the EDACS system is set up correctly. You should be more interested in the TGIDs than the frequencies. If the frequencies are put in, in proper LCN order and MODE set to ED then it will trunk correctly. If that frequency becomes active you should see it along with the TGID assigned to it for that transmission.

i might of programed it right and put in all the bigger cities east of iowa city even (1501)< main 1, another thing is 861.7625 is coming in good but i hear marshalltown which is 1302 and scott county 1501

 

[n2mdk]

It's a very large multi County, multi State system you can hear a lot of different locations coming through it.

 

[dragonball]

i found the problem, all the ch was mot should of been fm

 

[BaLa]

no..
it's an EDACS trunking system....
should be set to ED

If it's working being set to FM..then there's something wrong with your scanner
Unless it's a Simplex TAC Freq.

 

[n2mdk]

Actually it will work if it's set up simply as conventional frequencies, it should lock in on the control channel and not scan, and you will get those beeps at the end ot the transmissions.
For correct operation it should be set up as an EDACS trunked system with the MODE set to ED and the frequencies in proper LCN order.

Do you have all of these in the same scanner bank?

 

[dragonball]

yea i do is that good or bad

 

[n2mdk]

Well it isn't good, not if you want it to work correctly.
Only use the site/s closest to your location, and set them up as an EDACS System.
Each has to go into it's own bank.

 

[dragonball]

ok i can put the nearest freqs in that part is easy but do i switch it to edacs instead of fm

 

[fmon]

The bank must be in EDACS Mode
The tower frequencies must each be set to ED
The tower frequencies must be programmed in the LCN order listed.
