This is an IDAS system, not OFT. Should be programmed as a trunked, not OFT, system.

Thanks for the well-wishes. My surgery is tomorrow (5/20), so medical leave starts now. See you in a month or so.

If the RRDB NAC does not match received NAC: NAC xxxh --> xxxh (FLASHING) (first xxxh is incorrect NAC, 2nd is received NAC)

It would help if you would include more details in your post. One critical missing detail is what model of scanner you have.

The SDS100 has a built-in mode to assist with this. Run Trunked Discovery mode with compare to database turned on. The scanner will only stop on TGs that are not already programmed for the system and will record audio of these unknown TGs for later review.

Headphone jack is only going to be able to drive headphones/earbuds. For an external speaker, you need to use an amplified speaker (as you found). Not sure on the audio. I can't be sure from your description what is connected to what.

I looked at the image. Actually, I did one better and logged in as you. Clicked on "Register a Product." Selected "Radio Scanners." Selected "BCD396T". Then I stopped and backed out of all that as I don't know your scanner's details.

Click on "Register a Product" in the right panel. That link is definitely there, as you showed it in the picture you posted in Post 19.

When registering, after you select "Radio Scanners" the page reloads and prompts you to select the model to register. If you are not looking closely, it could look like the page just reset, but there is a new prompt there.

Also, when scanning a trunked system, if the scanner has not stopped on a channel, it is not on any particular department.

Can't say whether we are working on a remote head or not, but can say that no beta testing is being done for a remote head at this time. Not sure what Larry was seeing...

Threshold depends on the specific system. There is no universal best setting (but AUTO works in most cases, so is the closest you can get to that. Hold time depends on your own preference. I leave it at 0.

For a trunked system, going to 1 second won't shorten the dwell time. It takes about 1.5 seconds to receive a complete cycle of data from the control channel. The scanner will always check at least one full cycle, so if it takes longer than 1 second, but the scanner is set to 1 second, it will...

Looks like within a week or two I'll have a medical procedure that could take me offline for up to 3 months. During that time, I won't be checking RadioReference (or work email, for that matter). That said, there are very few questions asked here that truly require my direct response. There are...

If you are scanning from a FL and wanting to use ID Search to find previously unidentified TGs, be sure your FL includes all the TGs from RRDB. If you only copied over TGs of interest to your FL, then all others will be considered "unidentified" since they are not in your FL, but will inr eality...

For some reason, FileZilla opens up multiple sessions for writing. The SDS200 only allows one ftp session at a time. I just use Windows Explorer to move files to the card (or simple command-line ftp).

Uniden begins with You 'n I (UNI).

You must enter the ESN/Checksum for your scanner.

It doesn't set the volume at power-on. It sets the volume after writing from the PC. On power-on, it sets the volume to whatever the physical volume control is set to.

A profile defines all the settings for the scanner in Sentinel. "Profile" has no meaning in the scanner itself. It gets what has been written to it...
