Hello all. I have a 296D coming monday for use on our new Montana APCO 25 system being turned on Feb 1. In looking at an on-line manual on the thing, there is a comment that auto programming wont work on VHF trunked systems. They ask for something called Base, Space, and offset frequency info for the system. I have the complete list of all the VHF channels going to be used in the system, not that many.
The Control Channels at each of the 5 sites are up and running now.
As best I can figure out, they want me to program in the lowest frequency used by the system base stations. They want the "space", which I believe to be 15Khz as the channels are all standard frequencies in the VHF Public Safety pool. But I read that offset is to be the actual "Channel Number" of the lowest freq, or the freq I use as the Base. Now, I am very familiar with 800 and 900 MHZ FCC channel number designators for each frequency, but, I have not been able to find such a designation list for VHF channels. Part 2 and 90 was searched, but couldn't find anything.
So, does anybody know where this info can be found? Or, am I all wrong in what the scanner is going to need to work on a VHF system?
154.340 is the lowest frequency of the base station assignments.
Thanks,
Tom
