hey upman how does this work on the uniden scanner

[jpm]

I was browsing the state of montana system and noticed qoute,"The Uniden radios capable of monitoring this system will obtain table data directly from the data stream. RS Pro-96/2096 will need to set the custom multi-table setting as follows:" in regards to setting up this vhf trunked system. IS this all the uniden radios. and how does it work like this on the uniden.

Since I don't want Paul to tear himself away from working on the software for the BCD396T, I will answer this. (Also, I am the one that wrote the snippet you grabbed above.)

The Uniden BC296D, BC796D, and BCD396T (assuming you have uploaded the most recent firmware for the 296/796) all take the channel data from the data stream on Project 25, 9600 bps control channels including the tables for Base/Offset/Spacing(step) that are part of that stream. The Pro-96/2096 do the math to calculate the voice channels, but rely on the tables you enter as the key to the problem. The key is already contained in the data stream and Uniden took advantage of it.

so we don't have to tear the hairs out of of heads to figure out the base offset stuff on these systems.

You could just look at the database for them (for systems someone has already figured out, of course).

i understand that, did many systems. my understanding is that one doesn't have to set the 9600 systems up as the stream will work these out. any who thanks for the input. i do understand how this works now. thx again

Correct
