Wondering how long it would take for someone to notice this. Input/output are reversed, back to what it was
when the system was analog.

My question is regarding the actual usable radius of this system. The DB has 5 miles. Where I live is less than that distance but I receive at the furthest location I have received coms was at Carling Ave in front of the Civic Hospital. Is this simply a theoretical distance or something else?

The DB Handbook requests we follow this guideline.

Geographic Tagging
Geographic tagging of conventional frequency subcategories and talkgroup categories is used to indicate the “service area,” e.g., a city center point and diameter (representing a circle to approximate the area of the city) – not necessarily the actual area of radio reception. The purpose of geographic tagging is to facilitate location-based scanner programming, i.e., if a person is physically located in a city then they would want to scan the frequencies for the city that they are in, not the adjacent city which they might also be able to hear.

If you feel the radius is incorrect please submit a correct update. Thank you!

Thanks for the information! That explains a lot. When I have more data I will submit a correction.

I sat and analyzed the system after adding the third Frequency mentioned above in Lot 7 where I hold a permit. It showed 2 active frequencies.
This is how I have it set up in my BCD436HP And using ProScan as my software.
MOTOBRO system:
Site 1 (Carleton University)
Frequency #1 452.712500 LCN1 CC=12
Frequency #2 469.075000 LCN2 CC=12
Frequency #3 464.300000 LCN3 CC=12

I am not 100% sure that it is set up correct and to understand what is meant by

I am new to properly manually programming systems and some of this terminology goes over my head lol.

Side note: Are there meet ups in and around Ottawa where techniques can be shared and what not? I remember back when yahoo groups were a thing there were coffee meetups monthly or something if I remember correctly.

464.3000 is repeater output, 469.075 is the input, which is reverse of what it was. You normally don't listen to input frequencies
so ditch 469.075.

Thanks I will change it up and will update on next week after I am on campus next.

Just noticed there is LRRP data on 464.3 DMR but nothing on the map

I can confirm that this is an accurate update to the system.

How does one go about mapping potential LRRP data here with a BCD436HP and a laptop?

 

[IdleMonitor]

Use an SDR and DSD+

Thanks I will put that on my to purchase list.

A bit puzzled why so few people in Ottawa area seem to be running DSD+, city of a million people, two who regularly
report in these forums (and a few in the background who pop in once in a while).

DSD+ basic software is free, not hard to install and runs on just about any reasonable PC, even old XP laptops. Can
be set up with one or two USB dongles (SDR) typically ~$15 each; or get an old cheap analog scanner ($25) hopefully with a good front end (avoids tying up an expensive digital scanner) and do the audio tap (two wires), which runs into sound card (mic) input.

I am not seeing LRRP on CU system right now but lots of Radio Check messages. Only local LRRP
seems to be on 150.140 DMR repeater.
