HOW TO FIND THE LCN ORDER FOR LTR FREQUENCIES
Hello All,
The Uniden operating guide is no help at all for explaining how to get the LCN order for LTR frequencies. This is how I do it with my Uniden BC780XLT. Take the id number 1-05-220. The 05 in this id means the frequency gets programed on channel 5. The home repeater indicates the channel number placement between 1 and 20.
To do this, one scanner bank must be programed for LTR trunking. Enter the frequency to be checked on one of the channels between 1 and 20. Then press and hold trunk to get the double beep to make it an LTR frequency. Then press trunk again to start the checking process. Wait until a person speaks, and the LTR number will come up if it is LTR, or wait for a repeater confirmation beep of 253--like 0-01-253. This means it gets programed on channel 1. A person must be talking for the id number to come up.
Sometimes, you will see 01, 02, 03, or more. There are frequencies that have no home repeater id's. There is one or more of these on LTR systems. These are hard to place in the proper channel order. There are two ways to do this: The first is to sit and wait for a repeater confirmation beep of 253. It will show up 1-04-025. Program it on channel 4. Sometimes you will see it and not hear the beep. The other way is to program all 20 channels with the frequinecy number and watch for the indicator light where it lights up and remove all the extra ones until the right place is found.
What makes it hard is that conventional users share a trunked LTR frequency too. Don't give up too soon because you don't get the LTR id number the first time you try.
Take care all.
