BCD436HP/BCD536HP: DMR One-Frequency System w/multiple frequencies - sentinel entry quesiton

[wk5h]

Rather than continue a post that I put in the wrong group (thanks to those guys for answering my question anyways), I'll come here.

Here's what I have so far. Business has 4 repeaters using Mototrbo conventional. All 4 repeaters are on the same tower, and obviously, each repeater has it's own frequency.

The business has 7 organizations, each with their own talk group - sort of...

Repeater 1
org 1 - talkgroup ID 1
org 2 - talkgroup ID 2

Repeater 2
org 3 - talkgroup ID 1
org 4 - talkgroup ID 2

Repeater 3
org 5 - talkgroup ID 1
org 6 - talkgroup ID 2

Repeater 4
org 7 - talkgroup ID 1

Since each repeater is reusing the same talkgroup IDs of 1 and 2, am I correct in assuming that in order to combine all repeaters under one favorite, that I'm going to have to create a new/separate system for each repeater? Otherwise, if I added all the repeater frequencies under one system, I'd have multiple channel names sharing a TGID, and the scanner wouldn't know to say "if it's on THIS frequency, then TGID 1= org1 rather than org3, org5, or org7?

Assuming those details are correct, then that is what you would need to do to be able to correctly tag each group with a unique alpha tag.

Also, to differentiate by TGIDs, you'll need to program as one-frequency trunked, not as conventional.

The details are correct. There was a reason for splitting them out between multiple repeaters rather than combining them into a single trunked system... a dumb one, but, a reason none the less.

Also, to differentiate by TGIDs, you'll need to program as one-frequency trunked, not as conventional.

"one-frequency trunked" - are you referring to "DMR One Frequency" for system type?

Yes he is.
I have Ham set up that way. A 1 freq trunked system for each repeater. It allows me to alpha tag each TG. Plus get radio IDs so my imported names, call signs etc. show up.

I use the 1 freq trunked for a lot of stuff including P25 conventional.

 

[wk5h]

What is the difference between 1 freq trunked and trunked? Does the 1 freq trunk option just not make the scanner look for a control channel?

 

[jonwienke]

One frequency has no control channel.

Just an update to this. I was mistaken - the different repeaters had separate TGIDs, so, I was able to create a single system, add the multiple repeater frequencies to it, and everything is working great.
