Converting Talkgroup ID's

[Mikek]

I'm trying to convert about 100 type-II talkgroup ID's from Uniden or Hex format to type-I fleet/subfleet format. I know the Type-I size code needs to be provided, but once supplied there should be mathmatical way to do make the conversion. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
Mike

Would this link from the home page be of assistance ?

Thanks for the link. I actually looked at that yesterday and it pointed out a couple of things that helped me better understand the type-I stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any information on converting a talkgroup ID from a Type-II system to a fleet/sub-fleet in a type-I arrangement.

Why do I want to do this? I'm trying to 'revive' an old Standard HX580T, which does type-1 trunking, to monitor a type-II system.

I've programmed the type-II system as Type-I in my BC-780 and can reliably search for and follow talkgroups in that format. Using the Fleet/Subfleet information displayed by the 780, I programmed the HX580T for the 15 or so ID's that were active yesterday.

I would like to convert the rest of the list (about 100 Type-II or Uniden ID's) and finish the programming the 580T that way.

So I have a question, what block code did you use? I wouldn't mind doing that, and do you miss any comms?

It took me about half a day of constant monitoring ( and failed programming attempts :roll: ) to determine the size code. I finally settled on size B. It doesn't appear that I'm missing anything on the ID's I've been able to program. Luckily all of the ID's that I want to monitor are < 8192 (Block 1)in the type-II system.

There's this thread http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1244 I replied on SoCalScan also.

Do you miss any comms at all? I thought that the HX 580T could monitor Type II PP.

The links on the page are dead - Can someone repost the info - I have a good fleetmap of a type 1 hybrid moto system, have logged lots of ID's in type ii format, but have no way to reference the type i id's to the type ii id's. System owner gave the fleet id for a particular group I'm interested in monitoring. He gave me fleet 205 and says it in hex. This is the fleet id programed into his system and the user's radios- Any help converting it to uniden would be appreciated.
Thanks, Norto
