[Jack_speight]

Hello,
Im looking to program in a few DMR Frequencies to my BCD996P2. I am having trouble doing this and am wondering what info do I need to know? I found the TGID and Frequency.

Did you purchase the DMR upgrade?

What specifically are you unclear about? If you purchased & activated the DMR upgrade for your 996P2 & the frequency(ies) is (are) ID'ed in the RR database consider using Freescan or Proscan along with your RR premium sub to program it into your scanner. Easy peasy!

consider using Freescan or Proscan

I dob't think Freescan does DMR.

Proscan was easy to use, looks like it worked

Can confirm it dosent, I had tried using it before righting here. It puts it in as FM Frequency and does not enter TG's

Yeah good point, I need to stop referring to it. Proscan definitely does

Another thing - we really need to know where you are (city, county state is fine) so we can look up your area in our database and get a look at just what you are trying to program. There are a few flavors of DMR and they don't all necessarily program the same way. Once you have purchased and installed the upgrade and gotten a software app (and to be fair, ARC-XT also supports the P2, not just ProScan) then we will be in a much better position to help

OP's prior posts point to Vernon, Sussex County, NJ which operates separate DMR systems for PD and Fire

Yeah should have said that, turned out to be a Onefreq type DMR and freescan didn't support it.
