Unication G5

[radiomankc]

So, have a G5 bit here in Kansas City, we have the same system for the Johnson County and verifiable county in KCMO. It essentially a one system. But If I program MARRS. I have to use a bank for the Kansas side in a channel bank on the know and one for Kansas City side. Why can’t I can use the one know? I wish’s I had all of the control channels on the one know position. Can anyone look at MARRS and help me? Thank you!

I am confused what you wish to do. Are the two jurisdictions sharing the same trunk system?

Are you saying you’d like to monitor both on the same zone / dial position?

I guess this is the system you are referring to: Metropolitan Area Regional Radio System (MARRS) Trunking System, Kansas City Metro Area, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies . If I am understanding you correctly, you should be able to include all of the sites in the same system. Just create the different sites under the same trunked system. And add all of the control channels into the system. There is a limit on the number of control channels you can add (I can't remember the limit), but the way it looks, you should be ok. It has been a while since I've looked at the Unication PPS, so I am trying to remember exactly how it's laid out, though.

Honestly after reading the question again, I'm not sure what was asked, either.

I kinda get what he's asking, on the MARRS system it has several sites, the problem will be you won't be able to scan all the sites at once, most of the talk groups are affiliated to a particular site, KCMO Police and Fire generally stay on the KCMO site, as KCKS PD and FD stay on the Wyandotte site, so when programming you have to figure out which talk groups affiliate to which site, if you program in ALL sites into one group the G5 will only lock onto the strongest control channel, so you might miss the traffic on a talk group,

in the below examples the first system (#2) is all the sites combined, 2 and 3 how I separated them,

usually, I run DSD+ or Unitrunker to figure out which Talk Group affiliates to which site

I don't have the new 1.4 firmware but supposedly multi-site scanning will be available, id be happy with having the ability to change sites like system radios have
