Programming the BC330T

[Johntheo]

Hi everyone, I have a couple of question with programming the BC330T, I want program the Toronto Police, and Fire and EMS into the scanner. The questions I have are 1- According to the Radio Reference database, there are the control channels in red and the alternate control channels in blue do you have to enter both or just the control channel in red only, and if so is say Toronto Police Service a system say I can program by itself. And 2- Would say if I entered Toronto Fire is that a system and do I have to enter the same frequencies as for the Police and also for Toronto EMS and called them systems or just use the one system and then use the groups to scanner . Hope you someone can help. Thanks.

-do you have to enter both or just the control channel in red only,

Put in both, on occasion on the south tower 862.9625 is the active control channel.

You need to program both the control channels.

You need to set this up as 4 separate systems,one for each tower (N,S,E,W),with all the talkgroups you want duplicated in each system.

If your using the ARC software,I have some Toronto files already done.I can send you those,so you can see how they are set up,and then modify them,or add\subtract talkgroups as needed.
