programming

Hi All - Is it possible to set the Trunking site threshold on the scanner? I know how to do it on the programming software on the computer. Thanks!

I want some advice. I am a new owner of the BCD436 as I wanted a portable handheld unit and the SDS is out of my price range for my current knowledge level. I used to be into scanning back in the day with my father and grandfather, using an old crystal scanner and listening to Glendale, AZ fire...

Hello. I'm trying to find a list of fire station pager tone outs for the stations in Berkeley County, WV. I have looked everywhere on the internet and was unable to find them. Does anyone have a list of tones for the fire stations for programming my monitor V?

Hello, I am fairly new to the whole scanner scene and I am having some problems programming my Uniden BCT15X. I would like to my local police agency in and they use the Motorola Type II Smartzone so I'm assuming it's 800 mghz but all the system frequencies given are in the 400 mghz range so I am...

Hi. I'm confused about the frequencies at https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=1594. They are federal frequencies for Virginia, listed in the Wiki but they are not in the RR database. I can't figure out how to get them into my 436 HP using Sentinel, Proscan or anything else. I can get a...

Our department has received 6 NX-5200 radios on a grant, traditionally we have utilized Motorola's so I'm not too familiar with these radios. They continuously break squelch and all throughout the night our firefighters are woken up by the station identifier beeping away in Morse code. None of...

I know about the SIU way, but I have come across a "Y" cable that is for two Astro Spectra's. In the software under the "Advanced II" tab you check the box for a dual band unit and designate one radio as primary and the other as secondary. This is usually also referred to as the green radio and...

Owned a mix of approx. 10 scanners over my lifetime - even back in the day when you had to punch everything in manually.... NOW, have a BCD436HP that I am trying to get an NXDN trunk on https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=8654 and it will not happen no matter what I try. Yes, I HAVE...

My fire department has an old Astro Spectra Plus W4 built into its main vehicle. The radio still has frequencies programmed into it from the department we bought it from and we wanted to program it to function on the Provincial Fire frequency. I was wondering what it would take to reprogram it...

Hello! I am a little late to the game and noticed a wealth of info on creating SC4 files for GE / MA/COM Orion radios. Unfortunately there seemed to be a PDF guide on how to do this that is no longer a valid link on hamrepeater.com site. I have also seen reference to SC4 files that have already...

Hi all. This is a novice question but I can't seem to find the answer in the forums. How do I determine what site to program for a particular talk group? Is there a list that correlates talkgroups with sites? I don't think all talk groups are available on all sites, so how do I determine...

In the past I've been able to program my IC-5100 with Receive Frequencies that are outside the amateur band, so long as they are divisible by 5000. I recently re-installed the WCS-5100 software from RT Systems, and I find that it will not accept a RECEIVE frequency out of the amateur band. Is...

It seems this particular old model was some sort of either low production or an OEM for something, so there seems to be so little information on the web about it. Anyway I ended up acquiring the base of one and now wonder how to program it. After painstaking googling, one result I saw is that...

Ive purchased a GT-5TP Baofeng but i cant seem to be able to program it with chirp, has anyone managed to program it using chirp. It doesn't give me an option to upload to radio and when i select download from radio it say 'Incorrect 'Model selected' when Using UV-82HP which is what chirp...

I am trying to program the pro 106. I had a gentleman at radio shack do it for me when i bought it. Thet are out of business so... I am in Franklin County PA and looking for help? Any suggestions on program for the computer or how to manually enter the information? I watched videos on you tube...

Okay, I have a pretty big question here. I have both a UHF and VHF version of the HT1000. My current FD charges us $150.00 to program our own radios. The town couldn't afford to purchase extras. I obtained Motorola RSS, but it is currently set up for a UHF bandwidth. Says I can only program UHF...

I just bought a new Uniden BCD996P2 and used radio reference to program it. All the systems work fine included conventional systems, LTR, and EDACS however non of the P25 systems are working. They around from surrounding counties but one county is only 25 miles away and the other is 41 miles...

Ive purchased a GT-5TP Baofeng but i cant seem to be able to program it with chirp, does anyone know of a way of programming it with a PC?

Good day, One of my HT1250 radios has issues, so I found a good deal on another one. My existing ones do not have the DTMF keypad, but the new one does. When I try to load my programming, CPS tells me that the model numbers don't match and it won't allow the upload to the radio. I am on...

I've been trying to figure this out and obviously I'm stumped because I'm here asking for a little bit of insight.... I've got several radios all programed and working on my licensed frequencies using my licensed copy of the CPS. Just getting that out of the way. So before I added a repeater to...
