I have usd files you can download for the 996 on my website for Indy and several other central Indiana counties. I do not know if the usd files will work with the arc software but they do for the free uniden software you can download from the uniden site.

been away from scanning for awhile , all this computer programming scanners and stuff is all new to me ..thanks for the help

 

[jason360]

is there any Indianapolis scanner clubs or anything like that near by?

I've got the MECA system set up just to scan and get the info from the control channels (cc) only and it should work fine. It may even scan faster this way then to have all the freqs programmed in. You should be hearing a ton of traffic on the 2 MECA systems in my file. I do have 3 different MECA systems. One of them is set up by district or area and it set to scan the ID's programmed in, and the other is set up by departments (PD, fire, medic, etc.) and is set for ID-search so it will show everything, even if the talkgroup isn't programmed in the radio. The one that is MECA-2 is things like transportation, RCA dome type of stuff. On that system you won't hear very much.

Once you get all the computer part of it down pat, it will all start coming to you easier and easier. Sounds like you've got a good start.

I am not aware of any scanner clubs. There is an Indiana SAFE-T yahoo group. You'll probably have more luck with ham radio clubs.

If you still feel like you aren't receiving enough traffic, I can put my on-line scanner feed on Indianapolis's MECA so you can compaire. My 996 provides the feed and is using the same files that I have for download.

See this link - it seems the 'Indiana Scanner Club' is a dead list, but it looks like SAFE-T is active, and depending on where you are in Indiana, MONIX is a good resource as well..

NPWP maybe later tonight we can compare scanners ill turn mine on and listen to yours ill be home alittle later ill send a PM when im ready to see if your around ..thanks for all the help ...Jason

Jason, I'll go ahead and turn MECA on with my on-line feed when I get home around 5:30 and leave it up all night that way. The video feed is working again (for now) so you'll be able to see what alpha tag it's displaying. I'll turn on the "08 MECA" which is all the talk groups. I don't know if I'll get back to the computer tonight or not. I'll turn off MECA in the morning and check here to see how your doing.

Oh, forgot to add there is a delay. The video feed, there is around a 10 second delay. With the audio only feed, there may be up to a minute delay.

 

[jason360]
