I have a question about how to program a DMR One Frequency System using Sentinel on my SDS100. I typically like to learn by doing or observing. From what I have read, Sentinel doesn't read in these systems in the most efficient way possible for the SDS100. So I want to program one system on my own, so I can verify the best way to do it.
I have been monitoring a new system for the Lehigh Cement Company. Here is a link to the license:
https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?fccCallsign=WQVS579
I have been monitoring/recording the frequencies in Digital Code Search mode. The channel indicator shows "DMR". I have figured out:
464.8125 / Color Code 14
TGID 4560 / Slot 1: Channel 1
TGID 4561 / Slot 2: Channel 2
461.05 / Color Code 9
TGID 4564 / Slot 1: Unknown 1
TGID 4568 / Slot 2: Unknown 2
Now the question… When I program this as a DMR One Frequency trunked system, how do I program the frequencies? Do I program them as one site with two frequencies?
Site 1:
464.8125
461.0500
Or do I program them as two sites, each having one frequency.
Site 1:
464.8125
Site 2:
461.0500
I think the best/recommended way is to use a Single Site with multiple frequencies per site, but I want to make sure. I would think that if One Frequency DMR could/should only accept one frequency per site, then this would be restricted in the site frequency form/input. But it isn't... So is this by design, or is this a bug?
