Also see the comments on this Wiki page:

Which software did you use for importing your frequencies? FreeSCAN, ARC-XT, or ProScan?

Also, one common omission when importing systems is to only import the talkgroups desired from a trunked system, overlooking choosing the correct sites as well.

If, after double checking what was imported, and verifying that your systems are enabled (not locked out), you still have not solved the issue, them perhaps you should post a copy of your programming file. That way, someone can take a look for any omissions and errors.

I just took a look at your county, Hardeman, in the database.

It appears that most of the public safety agencies in the county are conventional frequencies, not on a trunked system.

However, I also see a listing for a DMR system for the Sheriffs Office. There are no talkgroups listed for that system as yet, so no indication as to whether it is in use yet.

I used the FreeScan. I will try using the talkgroups

oh...ah...

conventional frequencies don't use talkgroups.

 

[chazarm1]

Welcome are you trying to setup the new Hardeman County DMR system?
I was there 3 weeks ago and it was not in use yet.
You Should have bought a 536 and added NXDN and listened to Fayette County SO.
Did you assign any quick keys?
Did you get the right version Freescan as only one version will do DMR.

 

[chazarm1]

yes i downloaded freescan. You are telling me that hardeman has not gone digital yet?

 

[buddrousa]

Not as of 3 weeks ago when I went through there.

dmr

buddrousa
ive been using freescan for several years now, and it has never supported dmr. and when you mentioned that it is supporting dmr now, i must be missing something. what version is that?

 

[buddrousa]

FreeSCAN 2.19 Beta1

 

[buddrousa]

conventional frequencies don't use talkgroups.

What you missed is this is a 3 site trunking system.

 

[buddrousa]

To the OP did you get your scanner working?

i was going by the "most of the public safety agencies in the county are conventional frequencies"
that had been posted.
i would not call it an error on my part.

If you look in the database it shows 3 TRUNKING SITES.
