BCD396XT Kent county information?

Getting the CCs plugged in, setting CC only, plugging in your two lines of data in the custom table and selecting ID search should have you up and running....we'll know shortly if you are in business.

ok. so I added NCC as a separate site. Put in the band plan for it's site only. I also put in the band plan for Kent only in Kent's site. My current issue is that I'm able to hear NCC chatter on ID search. but on Kent, I see the screen hit an ID for a split second but doesn't stay on it to open the audio.

On the System I have Motorola Type II/P25 selected, and no check boxes selected. Delay time is 2

 

[doctordave]

Hmm...where are you located right now? Wondering if you are in a poor area for pulling in the Kent towers. So it appears you are copying plenty of chatter on NNC - - clear audio?

 

[ArmyDude]

I'm in Smyrna... so it's possible. I never had this issue before. I never programmed NCC into the radio prior to now. Kent seamed to work fine. Some of the channels are clear audio, not all. Also, It never decodes K-EMSDSP. I hear it coming accross broadcastify... but not 800 trunk.

The Kent control channel... when I "Hold" on it... I can hear the control noise clear as can be. All five bars.

Did you program the Bandplan for all Sites? All sites should be "MOT CUSTOM", and Bandplan added. The issue you describe is indicative of Bandplan not programmed.

I assumed that you listed the bandplan in one of your posts. I put this into FreeSCAN

Initially I had only one in each, now I have them in both sites.
Lower Freq Upper Freq Step Offset
851.01250 868.98750 25.0 0
851.02500 854.00000 25.0 440

 

[ArmyDude]

And just the system band plan.... not the APCO band plan... yes?

You have it in reverse order. It should be:

1: 851.02500 854.00000 25.0 440
2: 851.01250 868.98750 25.0 0

No APCO Bandplan. It refers to a P25 System, and Delaware's system is P16.

Just to be clear, you have the Kent system set up as Mot Custom/Reband Type II, have entered the 4 control channels, selected CC-only mode, have created/saved the custom table for the Kent system?

 

[doctordave]

Correct - dont mess with the APCO plan

I have both Kent and NCC as Motorola custom and the System Band Plan identical for each. With the information below now. Still nothing on Kent except a clear control channel when I put it on hold.

In ID Search MODE?

 

[ArmyDude]

Yes. In ID Search mode

 

[doctordave]

what do you see in the radio display while ID searching Kent?

 

[ArmyDude]

Ok.... I take that back.... it just picked up Clayton Fire and DNREC on Kent.

 

[doctordave]

Clear audio?

 

[ArmyDude]

it has the CC solid (853.9000) under ID Search that is scrolling with a solid arrow pointing down. The signal bar flashes every few seconds with all 5 bars.

 

[ArmyDude]

Clear audio?

Yup. Superior court just now.... locking that out.
