BCDx36HP DMR Preview 2 Available

[WX4JCW]

ok im guessing CAP+ is not finished yet, its kinda odd because the systems give you all the information you need to know to track them guess preview 3 will show if they figured it out.
and now the question is, is the $50 going towards the royalty for the Vocoder which i assumed was open tech, or the whole mototrbo package?

heres a picture of my dsd log.. my scanner only received one of these transmissions, and is on a much better antenna than the SDR is on

I setup my DSD+ and a Pro97 with a discriminator tap in a portable configuration with a rubber duck and then checked most of the DMR freqs in the area. The 436 did not even hear 90% of the freqs while the DSD/Pro97 setup was decoding the signals perfectly. It has been know for long time the the 436 is deaf on the UHF bands. I have never seen anything from Uniden acknowledging the UHF issue so I doubt there are any plans to see if it can be improved.

If that's the case, why is my 436 with a SRH-789 antenna receiving a DMR transmission on 460.9875, originating from an antenna less than 15ft off the ground from over 10 miles away?

Why can my 436 pick up my fire department's repeater on 413.8375 (30W on a 150ft tower) from nearly 20 miles away in Rocky Mountain foothills terrain?

I got no problems either

I miss read your post. So ignore my first post if it came through. I guess your are lucky to not have the issue.

 

[Jay911]

You are using an outside antenna. My example was portable.

I would consider the Diamond SRH-789, at 9.7 inches, to be a portable antenna.

I guess you are lucky to not have the issue. We tested three of them last week on 455.35 on air audio signal. The signal was noisy and fluttering on all of them. While it was full quietly on the 396xt and a few other radios. By happy yours is working great.

I corrected my post as I misread your post. Do you think it is normal for the 436 to totally wipe out the receive of another radio when placed near it? I cannot duplicate that with any other radios I have? My first comment was in response to DMR and this is getting off topic so I will drop it here.

Have a Cap+ system in conventional mode displaying TG 0. Is that a valid TG or another call?

Missed in the release notes (engineering just let me know this). CAP+ now requires correct LCN, just like CON+ and DT3. That could explain some of the issues you've been having.

Oops! Well there ya go.

Is it possible to use LCN Finder on Cap+ by chance?

I missed this in the manual, can you point us to the proper page please?

:roll: He said that it was missed (not put) in the release notes, and that the engineers told him just today.

I meant how to find the LCN order. I'm missing it I think..

 

[Jay911]

My apologies. On this page, he states "If you do not know the LCN, enter a placeholder LCN, then use LCN finder to determine the correct LCNs." He's yet to answer my inquiry if LCN finder will work with Cap+ in this version or if it needs to be enabled in a future (preview) release.

Yes...I was looking in the on-line manual to find the procedure to do this. I have a "rest channel" that has no voice traffic and eliminated that from my Site. Now if LCN order matters, this just might be working good soon.

Interesting, the Easier to Read manual contains nothing on the process.

It's fairly simple. Go to MENU, then Analyze, then LCN Finder, then select the system and then the site you are looking to get sorted out. The scanner may take some time to sort it out (some people say it never fully finishes; others say it will work well if you use the RH_536 demo software that was released when the radios were first revealed). This info comes from the previous thread for preview release 1 of the DMR firmware.

Thanks again Jay. I have it running now..so far Found LCN 1/5 popped up.

I haven't tried it with any DMR system yet; but it has worked for me before with LTR and EDACS. It needs voice traffic in order for the frequencies to be figured out (and, fair warning - if you broke your systems up so that each frequency was in a separate site, this won't work - you need to put all freqs for a system back into one site before you try this).

That's interesting news but how do we set it up, I am trying to follow a system where frequency 1 is LCN 1 and 2, frequency 2 is LCN 3 and 4 and frequency 3 is LCN 5 and 6.

The scanner refuses to let you add the same frequency twice and I've tried just about all combinations I could think of eg setting LCNs as 1,2,3 / 2,4,6 / 1,3,5
