Hi I"m using freescan. trying to set up a trunking program. says
System Type:Motorola Type II SmartZone
System Voice:APCO-25 Common Air Interface Exclusive

Owners manual states that this should be programmed as a P25 system. can't seem to figure it out. I have attached my freescan file, Maybe one of you can see what i am doing wrong thanks.

FreeSCAN is importing it as Mot Type II/P25, which is what would have been used on the older 396T & 996T scanners.

Instead, use P25 Standard, Digital XT, which went into effect with the XT models of the 396 & 996 scanners. This also applies to the P2 series such as your 996P2 as well as the 325P2.

On your file, I see that while you have imported the groups, with the TGIDs (talkgroups), you did not include any of the sites, You need to import the sites in your area as well as the talkgroups.
