Thanks for the info on determining LCN. I'll give that a try.
Do you know if there's any good documentation for using LCN Finder on the BCD325P2?
Also, what is the maximum number of LCNs for Connect Plus and Capacity Plus DMRs?
If you're using DSDPlus to visually monitor the system, you can try a trick developed by many people simultaneously back when trying to figure out the LCN layout on EDACS and LTR systems. . .
1. Park the DSDPlus monitor radio on the "rest" channel or "control" channel (whatever one is sending out channel assignment data, or a periodic beacon).
2. Program the site frequencies into an ordinary analog voice scanner.
3. While watching DSDPlus system activity on the computer screen, listen for which channel goes active on the analog scanner.
It may take a few passes to confirm a particular channel beyond reasonable doubt, but as you confirm each channel, lock it out on the analog scanner. Eventually you'll pin down the LCN layout.
This is easier to do on a weekend when there is activity, but not as much activity as you would see on a weekday. The preferred goal is one active voice channel at a time.
Finally. . .
Connect Plus systems can use a maximum of 15 repeaters per site. However, there is a maximum of 770 traffic slots, so for a 70-site system no more than 6 repeaters per site, and for a 250-site system no more than 2 repeaters per site).
Capacity Max (the new Motorola control-channel based system which uses the ETSI standard) can use a maximum of 250 sites with up to 15 channels per site. Limitations similar to Connect Plus probably apply.
Capacity Plus (single-site) and Linked Capacity Plus (multi-site) use a "rest" channel rather than a continuous control channel, maximum 1200 radios, up to 15 sites and up to 6 repeaters per site.
