BCD436HP/BCD536HP: BCD436HP - MotoTRBO Not Displaying

[titanic7g]

I go to TAMU College Station and I have programmed the university MotoTRBO system into my scanner, in it's own favorite list and one that already has other systems in it, list is set to monitor but when scrolling through systems on the scan screen it does not display, I did purchase the DMR/MotoTRBO license key and it has been applied.

Correct system type selected?

If this is the system

Texas Wide Area Radio Network (TxWARN) Trunking System, Various, Texas

Texas Wide Area Radio Network (TxWARN) Trunking System Profile

where does it say it's MotoTRBO?

I'd verify that you have all of the desired talk groups programmed. (Or try ID Search)

 

[titanic7g]

There are 2 TAMU systems, that one works, here is the one that is MotoTRBO
Texas A&M University (College Station) Trunking System, College Station, Texas

Turning ID search on fixed the issue, interesting. It says no TGID is programmed

Here's more info about DMR and the 436 scanner.

Good luck!

I had a similar issue with a P25 phase 2 system on the other side of the state from where I am. During a road trip through the area, I noticed my 536 was totally skipping over the system. I had my laptop with me, so I looked over everything and programmed it again and it was still skipping over it. When I placed a hold on the system, I ended up getting the same message you did.

I don't use quick keys, or number tags, and never have. All system number tags were set to none (like they have been for years), but for some reason I had to actually assign a number in order for it to work. If you don't have a number tag set, try changing it to 0 and try again.

It's something with adding through sentinel database, I am adding everything by hand and it's doing it how I want it to work hahah. First time with the database doing this

 

[titanic7g]

Update: Success
So it appears that it was just an issue somehow with the Sentinel Database, I wasn't able to locate this issue with that, I went ahead and created the system by hand, using Excel to separate the columns on RadioReference and copy pasting each department, took about 5 minutes, but hey, it works now! Thank you to everyone who chimed in.

DMR Tier 3 is currently getting improvements in firmware.

 

[Peter74]

What improvements will it get?
and when will it be online.
I hope you can do something about DPMR that would be nice .if that was in the firmware olso

 

[JoeBearcat]

There is very little DPMR in NA.

As for what it will get, see the announcements on the Uniden website or usually at

Thank you.
What I meant was actually for the EU versions (3600)
DPMR and
DMR T3 improvements in firmware

Some hams do use dPMR.

 

[JoeBearcat]

As I said, very little dPMR in NA. As for EU models, I cannot comment on those.
