Thank you! I wish the ProScan and Uniden instructions would explain things this directly. I hadn't figured out how to get systems with quick keys over 10 to scan on the radio either so the explanation in your second to last sentence really helped. I tried looking at the instructions today again...

I've tried it both ways and it makes no difference. The process of locking out groups in a conventional system or in a trunked system is very cumbersome in the 325P2. So many buttons to push to enter programming and choosing the right place to hit the lockout choice. Next, I'm trying to figure...

I need to submit an update on the Mammoth Mountain System. I did a search on all the frequencies this ski area has licensed when my friend could not get her new BCD325P2 to follow the trunking. Once we learned that there were 14 licensed freqs and entered all of them her scanner worked just...

I've tried that in one of my systems. My local system consists of 10 groups. When I edit the groups and chose which groups to monitor, sometimes on one group, the radio continues to show numbers 1-10 (0) no matter what is locked and unlocked. I've tried this a dozen or more times and the result...

The radio was delivered about a month ago. I already checked to see if it has the latest firmware and naturally it does.

Thank you so much for your help!! I've been reading through the Easier to Read manual very gradually. Whenever I have a question it is difficult to find the information I'm looking for. It isn't written in the order my mind works, so it is challenging. I'm not faulting whoever wrote it as...

This is the system I'm trying to help my friend with: Mammoth Mountain & June Mountain Ski Areas: 393A 76.6 I now see that it only has 12, not 14, frequencies.

Ok, here is what happened. I did not download the system from the RRDB. I had a Word document in front of me that showed the fleet map and talkgroups. I then entered everything into ProScan directly. I often change the way RRDB abbreviates text tags so for a small system and then build the...

The system I'm trying to program is out of the area, not in Gila County. It is actually a site back in California and I'm trying to help a friend who also bought the same radio when I did. She is trying to listen to Southern California Edison and a ski area with an old (mid 80's install) Type 1...

P.S. I'm finding the BC325P2 to be very complex. I'm taking programming it and understanding it very slow otherwise I would be pretty frustrated right now. The scanner's manual and the software instructions are not very good so it is slow going. My caregiving duties give me little time for this...

I received the BC325P2 about a month or more ago. The primary reason for the purchase is to listen to APS, especially during stormy weather and other power outages. I had no problem downloading the system from the RRDB. What I noticed right away is that this P2 system really sounds tinny. It's...

I'm very gradually getting used to our new Uniden BC325P2. The instructions are pretty minimal so I'm trying to learn as I go by clicking on everything. The dilemma I face right now is I can't get an old Type I trunked system to work. I have the fleet map and have successfully programed the...

170.0000 is no longer an air to ground frequency, anywhere in the nation. It is now the output frequency for the NIFC Command 4 repeaters. Although this shows a July, 2020 revision date this air to ground frequency was not checked or edited. 170.0000 was formerly the air to ground for all of R5...

Thanks for the report! I think the BLM gets dispatched from Redding, but I'm not too sure. I think most of their scattered lands on the west side of the Northern California District are contracted to Cal Fire for protection. The Lost Coast might be an exception to that, I see they have one Type...

In other states the BLM and other agencies have agreed on dispatch boundaries that didn't split up districts into different dispatch centers. In many cases if they split up a BLM district they do it along field office boundary lines. In Nevada the BLM districts form the dispatch center...

I'm still picking them up in Payson on at least one repeater. No changes to that here.

Yup! This varies based on states, for example 123.875 is used at all tanker bases in Arizona, but there is another frequency used in New Mexico.

I'm getting on RR less and less due to caregiver workload and the burnout I have to watch out for. I apologize for this delayed reply. The final decision on a radio that will allow monitoring the APS system was to purchase the BCD325P2. We ordered it from Scanner Master and it was shipped on...

Interesting that various incident management teams have used the term "surge." The last time I heard it used in an official capacity was during the Bush Administration to describe a huge and sudden increase in troop numbers in Iraq. It was a term used for political purposes. The dictionary of...

One of the largest goals in establishing the Incident Command System was to standardize terms, procedures and the names of apparatus. It is not like I'm trying to be the word police here, I'm just interested in the procedures of agencies in other states. I haven't been to Colorado in ages so I...
