Just edit the *.HZ file that it made. It's faster and easier than doing through UniTrunker. I've never been able to get it to stick doing it through UniTrunker.

Once you exit UniTrunker, it will save several files. One for the frequencies (HZ), one for the talkgroups (GID), etc. The one for the frequencies will be labeled Motoxxxx.hz (xxxx = the system ID), for instance one of the systems I monitor here is Moto2808.hz. I'd open that file using Notepad or Wordpad and then put the frequencies in it. Below is the HZ file off of the 2808 system.

Columns:
1 - Site
2 - LCN
3 - Control Channel
4 - Listen
5 - Lockout
6 - Frequency
7 - CTCSS
8 - DCS
9 - Label
10 - First date seen by UniTrunker
11 - Last date seen by UniTrunker
12 - Confirmed
13 - Hits
14 - Notes

So the edit the frequency, I'd look on my UniTrunker screen and look at the red number. In your case it would be "2BD". Then I'd look at my scanner and see what frequency is displayed. Then open the HZ file and look for the row with 2BD in it. Count over 6 columns (after the 5th comma) and place the frequency there. It must be 9 characters long with NO decimal. Then save the hz file and reopen UniTrunker. Instead of "2BD" being displayed, it'll display the frequency. You can edit the other files to add names of channels, sites, etc as well.

*Site, LCN, Control, Listen, Lockout, Frequency, CTCSS, DCS, "Label", First, Last, Confirmed, Hits, "Notes"

UniTrunker won't know what the frequencies are because it's an OBT (Other Band Trunking) system. You have to use formulas to figure them out. You already know the first one, i.e., the red one. If you give me the frequency that corresponds to the red number, I can more than likely figure out the rest (as long as there is only one base/offset.

Use the following formula sheet to help you figure out the rest of the frequencies.

ok im obvisiously new to decoding !

not sure the red 1 would be the one i had it on when getting the data feed ?

anyway i cant really go posting to much of it here as its a requested removal of info
Gov. afb from this site so... ya know i will look into it some more .

Gotcha. Yep, you're right. The red is the active CC. The "gold" ones are the inactive CCs. Those will be very easy to verify as the CC changes. It looks like it's a single base/offset, so it should be very easy to figure out. Just shoot me a pm if you need help. I gotta run watch a movie, but will be back later. Have fun!

The red one is the control channel your scanner is currently monitoring. From that you can deduce the other frequencies using the formula rescue161 included in his response.

ok got it !

i think i got something working i have it programmed into a 396 whatching ids off of
the same cc my psr600 is dumping the cc data into unitrunker so as the ids pop up on unitrunker im watching the channel ids and seeing what freq my 396 goes to

Sweet! I love figuring out systems like that. Glad you got it going.
