programming

Hey guys, I have been an old conventional scanner listener for a while now. I am switching to a BCD325P2 to finally listen to my counties (Greene County, NC, USA) VIPER fire dispatch and operations channels. That is all I want to listen to. Our county is on the NC VIPER system. I am having...

I just purchased an old bearcat scanner (3&4) that uses crystals, I know these scanners are about obsolete now but, would still love to listen to what I can on this old dog, I joined the fire service in 1978 and that was the first scanner I had bought and have loved this type of scanner ever...

I have been a member of RadioReference and an BCD996P2 owner for almost 3 years and this is my first forum post. I have been trying to program my scanner to always start on my county sheriffs frequency, and that part is easy, but the problem is that the scanner reads the tower sites in...

Hi guys! This is my first message on this forum. tl;dr I don't know how to program these radios and I don't know how to know how to program these radios, but would like to! Also, it seems I don't know what I don't know and request further guidance. I have a lot of EFJ5100 radios with different...

Just got a new SDS200. I made sure both were upgraded to latest software. 1.21.00 for the scanner and 2.03 for Sentinel. I have a good programming cable and get the ka dunk e dunk when i plug it it. Windows 10 says cant find the right driver. So i search here and find a link for Windows serial...

Hi, Our club is operating a hytera rd985 as a 2m repeater. it’s up a hill with no internet connection. What’s the simplest way to connect to it remotely and change setting in the cps? Thanks Angus

Hello all... Just got my SDS100, and it's pretty slick. Of course, there's a learning curve, so I'm here with probably a dumb question about quick keys & scanning. I have three favorite lists each with its own FLQK. Two of the lists are for local police departments with conventional systems...

Good day! Running into a complication. I've mostly been tasked with maintaining the fleet of radios we have, as we often replace radios or expand as our company expands. So we have a few different models, and I have been able to navigate, mimicking the settings just fine. However, they...

I ended up buying the listed scanner above. I used Proscan to program the scanner, but I did not get a good signal nor hear anything coming across the scanner. I tested this by using broadcastify. I use the settings that come from the frequencies listed on Radioreference.com. I did a little...

Alright folks... I've got a few doozies here. I'm on the hunt for an inexpensive VHF radio. Found an XTS2000 on eBay that I really like, however I'm having some hesitations about pulling the trigger -- As far as programming it, that is. I cannot find the programming software for it anywhere...

Howdy I have all these in a spreadsheet, and even though not all are active in my area, i want to program them into my radio. I cannot find an import in Chirp that allows this. Frequency FRS channel FRS power FRS bandwidth GMRS power GMRS bandwidth Notes 462.5625 MHz 1 2 W 12.5...

Working on programming a P25 Talkgroup list (P25 Reflector List) in my NX5800 to be used with a Hotspot. I can only input up to 4 #'s in the Talkgroup ID. Did this get fixed on a software update or is it the only option? I'm currently running v4.22.

Hello everyone, I am a complete newbies when it comes to radio programming, I recently found a bunch of XPR 6350's thrown into a dumpster (I work for a local big pharma that apparently got an upgrade on their radios). Now I'm a las year CS student, and I know how to get around programming, but...

I'll preface this by saying I'm not 100% confident in my understanding of trunked systems and how to program them, so if I'm missing something or making any mistakes please educate me. I'm trying to program a statewide P25 system into my scanner. Specifically, the Montana Public Safety...

I am trying to program my 7011 through DOS. I am running the programming software on actual DOS and not DOSBox. I am able to read the radio through the serial programming cable but not write back to it. I was able to find some success in using Chirp but its missing some of the features the...

Hello All. While I have an Engineering/RF Technician (military satellites for Lockheed) background, I don't have much experience with surface radio. I recently purchased 38 Motorola XTS3000 units plus extra accessories at a local Police/Fire/EMS auction. I'll list as many details that I think...

Hi everyone, I am working on programming a WS1065 in Des Moines, Iowa. We are on the APCO P25 Phase 2 system, and there is a Des Moines/Westcom simulcast under the ISICS trunking system. I was trying to exclude all of the Westcom and focus on DMPD and DMFD, and the neighboring community Altoona...

I've tediously programmed a list of MDC and P25 radio ID's/Aliases via Tab 4 >> Group ID. Excellent writeup in this post compliments of @JSsignal16. I'd like to add this list to a few other Unication profiles I've customized. They're used by varying ranks within our department, all G3 or G5...

I wasn't able to find a definitive answer. So I am going to ask. If there's any links to this, please post below. I have a question about inputting Unit ID's into the SDS200. I know most of you are going to automatically send the easy to read manual, lol That is not the question, lol...

I have programming software for both models. I copied all frequencies on RDU4100. I wrote the frequencies to CP200D and it transmits to RDU4100 on 464.50000 but does not received on 464.50000. What am I doing wrong or what setting do I need to consider on CP200D programming software. I can...
