DMR PPS Questions

[KingLeonidas]

I've been working on programming my UHF-D with conventional DMR frequencies and I've got some questions I'm hoping someone could answer. I've had trouble getting it to work.

1) Is it possible to put all the DMR frequencies into a single scan? I have 4 frequencies and both of them would have 2 slots. When I select normal scan, the DMR option seems to disappear. Id like to put them all together instead of a separate knob for each.

2) What is the meaning of Hex next to the DMR color code?

3) Do I need to setup the conventional group ID list? I see here that under DMR TGID it asked for DEC & Hex again. Do I need this for conventional DMR frequencies.

Overall, I've found PPS fairly easy to use until trying DMR

TIA

First, we assume you have the DMR upgrade, so we will move on from there. You can scan up to 15 conventional (DMR) frequencies at once, but keep in mind the pager is not a scanner and goes through them slowly. You first create two DMR profiles, slot 1 and slot 2, then add them to the conventional frequency list, create a TGID group, then add to a zone/knob individually, finally add them to a knob and create the scan list.

2) What is the meaning of Hex next to the DMR color code?

Color code number each frequency has a color code.

Yes you need to tell it what talk group it is.

Hex is the color code, but is referring to the value in hexadecimal format. Decimal to Hexadecimal Converter
