I have a friend who has a Uniden BCD996XT Scanner and is trying to program the scanner to receive TACN. As this is reportedly only a Phase 1 P25 Scanner, is there anyway he can do so? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for your prompt reply. How does one determine if the site is FDMA or TDMA. In particular, he is trying to program the the Hippie Town Farm Road site in Grundy County, TN.

have your friend join up here and they can get help in a more direct way.
it would not be hard to do it even by hand.
| Hippie Town Farm | Grundy, TN | 771.25625c | 771.63125c | 771.90625 |
Is this Grundy County site FDMA or TDMA?
I'm not seeing any TACN talkgroups IDed for Grundy County. Looks like they're still analog conventional?

the site would be called phase 2.
but that means it could carry phase 1.
it is determined by what the talkgroup is using 1 or 2.

He is trying to receive the talk groups shown in the RR TACN database--TN-Coffee County (16) - Public Safety

he has been asking about the TACN system.
The talkgroups I pasted are from the TACN system.

Rmason, yes thanks. but Grundy had been mentioned before.
so i am going to wait for an update from him.

Yes, I understand that the site that Coffee Co. is using is the Hippie Town Farm in Grundy County, as there is not a TACN site in Coffee Co.
From RMason's posts I gather that Mode D is Phase 1, so, I assume that Mode T, is Phase 2. Is that correct?

yes
and RMason's list is what can be heard.

yes. D = phase 1 (FDMA); T = phase 2 (TDMA)
So, it appears he should be able to receive these talk groups on his BCD996XT, as they are all D "phase 1, from the Hippie Town Farm Rd/Grundy Co. TACN site--is that correct?
