SDS100/SDS200: DMR types

[BoomerGod]

Question, Is MotoTRBO Trunk the same as DMR T3?

 

[gary123]

No its regular DMR. Mode II or what ever the default DMR mode is for most DMR radios.

The Sentinel software and Radio Referance has the system as a MotoTRBO. Doing a search in the frequency range, my SDS 200 is finding the frequencies and displaying it as DMRT3. I went into the sentinel software to change it, but the software will not let me change the system type. What am I overlooking? Or maybe should I build the system myself? Any help is appreciated.

You can’t change a system type after it has been created. No matter if you imported it or keyed it in by hand.

A TIII system is still programmed as MotoTRBO trunked, there shouldn't be a need to change system type if you already set it as MotoTRBO trunked. Just set the applicable frequencies, LCNs, color code & talkgroups if known and you should be good to go

OK, thank you. I will start a new system that I will build myself. Once I am confident that everything is correct and running smoothly, I will submit a update to Radio Referance so they can update the database.

I have all the information programed into the scanner. It is what I pulled from Sentinel software. It is receiving from the system, but no transmissions are coming thruogh. I did a search in the frequency range and am able to recieve it on the assigned frequencies. I am stumped on this one.

SDS100/SDS200: - DMR Tier 3 Programming Help

Looking for help in programming a DMR Tier 3 system into a SDS100/200. A conventional search shows a DMRT3. Now when I go to program Favorite do I program this 3 frequency system as conventional/Motorola/Moto TRBO Trunk/DMR 1 Freq? There is no DMRT3 selection offered. Firmware for Sentinel is...

If it isn't in the database, then you have a bit of homework ahead of you

I found the problem! All LCN's have been changed along with the color code. Thank God for the Analyze function on the SDS models. I want to thank all the suggestions that everyone gave me.

Happy monitoring!

Be sure to submit an update to the RRDB with your confirmed findings

MOTOTRBO is MSI's brand name for DMR. That can be simplex, conventional repeated, or trunked; it's not limited to just "Mode II" or "default DMR mode" (whatever that is).

MOTOTRBO Connect Plus is MSI's proprietary trunked DMR flavor, and MOTOTRBO Capacity Max is their implementation of Tier III trunked DMR (with proprietary features).
