Programming BCD996T

[larry1592]

I'm lost-I want to monitor the Hollywood Fire Department only. How do I set up the trunking. I went to RadioReference and selected the Fire Dept. I made it a system and it goes something like:


- M HOLLYWOOD FIRE
l
l
l - Sites
l l l____ S Hollywood
l l
l l___________Hollywood Fire
l
l
l
l
- M HOLLYWOOD POLICE

- Sites
l l____ S Hollywood
l
l___________Hollywood Police

And so on.
Under the last Hollywood Fire the groups are listed. I want to be able just to scan the Hollywood Fire and not all of the other stuff on the scanner. I am using the ARC996PRO software.

What am I doing wrong? When I stop on just one site then it does not seem to scan the whole site. Sometimes it just sits there and a interference is heard on the channel. When I hit scan it scans everything in the scanner. I need to just scan the channels on the Fire Dept and sometimes the Police Dept. at the same time. Please advise

I'm counting 3 or 4 forums that you have posted in so far.

I'd like to try to help you, but you need to put more information in your posts and not assume that everyone has read your other posts. For example, I had to go searching all of your previous posts to determine that you were interested in Hollywood, FL, not Hollywood CA.

That being said, I took a look at the Broward Co. listing. It is quite vast, and I couldn't spot what you 'selected'.

Could you please post a link to the system and the exact names of the groups that you are interested in.

thanks.

I took another look at the Broward County system. This should be programmed as a Motorola Type II 800 mhz system. The Hollywood groups are found on Site 3 only. You need program only the 2 control channels belonging to that site, 866.0875 & 868.7125.

If you then monitor that system in Scan mode, you should be able to identify which Talk Groups belong to which depts., program them, and then apply the proper tags to each.

Correction: that should be 'Search' mode, not Scan mode.

Moved to FL forum and deleted the others..Please do not post to multiple forums like that. You are only going to upset the very people you are asking for help
