I have a list of talkgroups for an edacs system that I have been monitoring with T4Win. I am going back through the Talk group screen and changing the unknown to their proper name. When I try to display the talkgroups in AFS format, T4win shows the wrong TG number. example TG 05-121 displays as 05-101. this doesn't seem to be a uniform off by 20 conversion though. When they are displayed in Hex though, they are the correct number. I know you can use the scientific calculator to convert, but that would take forever as I have 150+ TGs. is there a simple formula I can copy into a spreadsheet and then convert my talkgroups, or do I have to do it 1 by 1?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

If you have the hex numbers for the id's in a etrunk *grp.txt file there is a small program called E2A.exe.
It will read the *grp.txt file and put out a new file with the AFS id's. Check the downloads section.

Converting AFS to decimal. Take the AFS number as AA-FFS where
AA - the first two agency digits in range of 0 to 15
FF - the middle two fleet digits in range of 0 to 15
S - the subfleet digit in range of 0 to 7
decimal value = AA*16*8 + FF*8 + S
Use your calculator to convert the decimal result to hex.
05-121 = 5*16*8 + 12*8 + 1 = 640 + 96 + 1 = 737 decimal or $2E0 hex.
Does that match what you have?

I take the t4win.xml and open it in excel and then extract the ids and paste them into win 95 and convert from afs dec hex etc.The only thing is you can only do 20 at a time.I wish it did like 100 or soBJ_NORTON said:

I don't know a whole lot on this particular subject, can you use dec on the Pro-96, and if so how? Also what are the differences?
