Hi all.........
Have been trying to get straight answers about determining the base channel step and offset channels for a Uniden BC296D and BC796D for the Bergen County, NJ Trunked system.
Recently started using UniTrunker (latest version) and have a couple of questions for you very experienced users.
I noticed and opened the Frequency Tab and see all of the working frequencies except for one which I had also programmed per the RR Database.
Then I opened the BandPlan tab and I see the listing for the 450,470,500,700 and 800 mhz bands. When I am running UniTrunker, I notice in the Activity screen the frequencies and to the left of same is the column called LCN (Logical Channel Number) which I thought was only used in Edacs systems. The Bergen County system is a UHF Motorola Type 2 Common Air Interface Exclusive system and what I am trying to obtain is the Base Frequency number(s) ("offset channel(s)") from Uni Trunker. Is that the same as the LCN listed? I have UniTrunker running in Decimal display mode. I am also using the Butel ARC250 Pro software to program these two scanners and in the Trunked Settings it is asking for the system type: Motorola Type II UHF and then for the following:
Frequency Step Offset Channel
Base Config 1 ? ? ?
Base Config 2 ? ? ?
Base Config 3 ? ? ?
I'm not sure whether the step is supposed to be 6.25 or 12.5 and what frequencies should I be using for the three entries. Also, how/where do I find the 'channel numbers' (offset ch.) in UniTrunker? In the article in the RR Wiki entitled : 'Determining Base/Offset and Step in Motorola UHF/VHF Trunked Radio Systems' , it states that in Trunker (the DOS version) the channel numbers were right after the frequency, displayed in hex, but they don't even seem to be showing up there in my 3.8.3 v of M-Trunker either?
Can anyone please shed some light on this and let me know what values to put into my ARC250 Table for this system??
Many thanks in advance for any/all asistance!
