Is there a reason for that Mark??

TG's can be assigned (assuming we are talking about a standard Motorola system) to the even split (hex code) but normally are not. The reasoning behind this deals with the TG information that is sent as slow speed data on analog TG's. That slow speed information does not send the least significant bit of the TG and it is assumed to be a "1". So, this means that normally all Motorola TG's are assigned in increments of 32 starting with 16 decimal. (Typical line up: 16, 48, 80, 112, 144, etc.) Although you can indeed assign on the even split (32, 64, 96, ect.) those TG's cannot be assigned for priority scan. Don't confuse the LSB of the TG with the status bit which for TG ID purposes is always zero.mam1081 said:

Loumagg, The TGs (16,48,80,112,176) can be set for priority scan?? What about TGs (52976,or 53744)??
Yes, provided the system admin has delineated them for that (remember we are talking about the actual system and the radios on it, not your scanner in reference to priority scan).PolarBear25 said:
To find out if a TG is on the odd or even split follow this formula:
(Target TG - 16) / 32 = whole number (Odd split)
Examples:Odd Split TG hex CEF or dec 52976 - 16 = 52960 --> 52960 / 32 = 1655
Even Split TG hex CEE or dec 52960 - 16 = 52944 --> 52944 / 32 = 1654.5
Even Split TG hex CEE or dec 52960 - 16 = 52944 --> 52944 / 32 = 1654.5

Haha...you do like to "share" info. I guess I will share a little too.
There are a few other new TG's coming down the pike. There are regional medical TG's (NW, NE, SW, SE) and some other TG's still for the metro including the OKC link stuff and there are several of those.
There is also a Pott County TG coming.
Plenty of new TG's to run into.

Ok thanks.. I thought all TGs on a system can be set for priority scan..

Ok Cool, Good to know..
I heard what sounded like "Noble" on 27568. Maybe they're coming online in Cleveland County.

I heard them test several times today as well. It is Noble, but I don't know if it was police, fire, or garbage trucks.
Also, rather than start a new thread. For two Fridays in a row, I have monitored the Oklahoma State Health Department testing local hospital encoders and radios, simplex, on the old Edmond FD repeater output of 154.430. The only hospitals that I actually heard reply were Midwest Regional and Mediflight.

Do they actually use the repeater for the test or is there a "patch", "link", "mating", "hook-up", "loop back", "thingy majig" that connects it to the HEAR channel? I have heard that test on HEAR and was wondering if it was the same one. I have seen some of the radios at the hospitals for hear and they are old school handsets with rotary dials (kinda wierd but still work). The radios that I saw were what appeared to be one channel outfits that stay parked, and turned down, on HEAR.

The guy is obviously getting replies to his radio tests, but, I was only able to hear stations close to me which is why I figure that it is simplex. beyond that I really don't know.freqscout said:
What happens is I hear the high pitched encoder tones like the ambulances used to use to get the attention of the emergency rooms, then the guy says something like, "State Health Department to Midwest Regional. Radio check." Midwest Regional replies and then he acknowledges with something like, "I hear you loud and clear too" and then he moves on to the next one. It won't be hard to miss because it takes a good part of Friday morning.

Unitrunker
Getting back to Unitrunker.
I saw in the 860.2375 thread that Unitrunker is free and downloadable, so I downloaded it.
It says that you can acquire a good chunk of data without tapping the radio, so I decided that I'd play with it using the external speaker jack. Can anybody suggest why with similar settings with regard to input, baud rate etc., on the Site 8 cc, I would get a wildly wiggling sine wave when looking at the Uniscope, but Unitrunker would show "No Signal"? I have adjusted the input levels so that the sine wave is strong but not clipped and changing the input source has no effect, of my two choices, I get a reading on the scope with either and a signal on Unitrunker with neither.
Yes, I know that I should tap a radio, etc, but right now, all I'm looking for is some activity to watch simply because all of this has made me curious. If I could get some readings using this method, I'd be tempted to tap a radio and have a good look.

Well remember you don't actually "lose" the use of the radio, just because you added a tap. It still works just fine; however, yes while you are using it for UniTrunker/Trunker type operations, that is all it will do.okccsi said:
The Pro-95 does have a tap point and the instructions apparently are similar to the 97. See this wiki page and this off site page.
There are more pages and instructions but those were the first two I came across.

This thread has really turned into a mongrel, but as the OP, I don't mind if nobody else does.woodyrr said:
I was out of town the past two Fridays. Has anyone heard any more traffic on this channel? I just realized that it is Friday and I was at my desk today, but didn't hear any tests. The scanner that scans that frequency was locked onto OCSO 1 this morning for the pursuit up the turnpike, and I may have forgotten to return that one to scanning when it was over.
I'm pretty sure there was a little activity on it earlier today but I can't remember what, if anything, was said.
