Greetings,
I've been listening to scanners since my great uncle & I used to use his shortwave radio to listen to the local constabulary back in the `70s. Once I saved up enough paper route $$$, I bought a 4-channel/crystal Teaberry hand-held (in 1979) and I've been hooked.....ermmm......upgrading ever since. Up until recently, programming hasn't really been an issue, even using FreeSCAN (v2.10). Thanks to W8RMH, I was able to put the COIRS and hear the NW Franklin Co FDs.
Now to get to the point, I have a few queries about programming the updated MARCS stuff into a BCD996XT.....
1- Do I need to know the APCO band plan? {position/freq/spacing} If so, where can I find this info?
2- Do I need to know/input each "site/Name" for Franklin County? (ie: Columbus City, Columbus MARCS, Franklin County, Bixby, Discovery, etc.)
3- Is there anything else I need to program/know?
Thanks for looking......
