Tom,Rebanding of the Columbus system (currently used by most public safety in Franklin County) is underway this week.
Tom,
Being new to this, and just purchasing a PSR-500, once the rebanding is done, will they be placed on RR for downloading?
Please excuse my ignorance... Is Franklin County /Columbus done Rebanding now?
Franklin County and Columbus are both complete.
I tested 2 identical Uniden scanners side by side, 1 with the rebanded table and one without. The one with the rebanded table would not track, occasionally locked onto the CC, and basically freaked out. So, apparently nothing needs to be done to the Uniden scanners to scan the rebanded system.
Larry: Did you set the band plan for rebanding? (Not sure how you do that on GRE's scanners, but it is a necessity for tracking a rebanded system.)

That's what I thought, but like I said the scanner with the reband table was missing transmissions. If some one else could test this and see if they have the same results it would be greatly appreciated.
Mike, I programmed the reband tables for all my MARCS systems and they all work great, but this is the Columbus system I'm referring to. I'm not doubting you or Tom, you guys are the smartest scanner guys I know, I'm just stating what I have observed. Maybe the Columbus band plan is different than MARCS, I don't know. This is what I am trying to clarify.
Should this rebanded system be programmed as -
Mot Custom/Reband (Type II) or
Mot 800MHz Splinter (Type II)
I had no clue Columbus was being / had been rebanded til today. Every time anybody talked about Columbus, my mind kept thinking about the Columbus MARCS site. It wasn't until Tom set me straight that you all were talking about the Franklin County system that I realized my err . Sorry about that.
At any rate, I'm fairly certain you want the "Mot Custom/Reband (Type II).... not the Mot 800 Mhz Splinter. I had never heard of anybody using the latter for rebanded systems. Then again, what do I know rofl. But I'm pretty sure you want Custom/Reband.
