EDACS QUESTION AND PRO 96

[ShawnCowden]

EDACS AEP in ohio I programed the control channel in but it wont trunk the freqs.

Do u program it like mot. trunked accept u switch it to edacs ?? i need some help with this.
I programed it like u program mot. and mot works but edacs doesnt even though i switched to edacs trunk system.
I recieve AEP control channel and the freqs just fine am i doing something wrong ??

You have to plug in EDACS channels in the order that they are shown starting with channel 1 in the bank. Not channel 0. If there is a channel that is left blank, then, leave it blank.

Hope that helps.

Two important things when programming EDACS in the Pro-96:

1. You start on the 01 channel of the bank you choose, i.e. 101 or 201 or 301, etc.

2. You NEED to enter all the frequencies the system uses in its specific LCN order.

EDACS has never (and probably never will) be a Control-Channel only type of system. And that's with any brand of scanner.

Gosh i dont really understand.

put both control channels on it ?? and dont leave blank or do i have to put all freq channels in from AEP

I don't live in Ohio, but for an EDACS system, you can't do the control channel only method. You must enter all the system frequencies, and they must be entered in the correct LCN order.

The system you are trying to monitor isn't a ProVoice system, is it? Because no scanner made can track an EDACS ProVoice system.

The thing is, is that all the freqs. listed for lancaster towers for AEP are diff from what i hear and i cant write all those down. I know its them because of them talking bout elec and stuff

AEP isn't ProVoice

Program ALL the channels control AND voice channels in its LCN order.

The database shows the Lancaster site has 4 frequencies, that's all you will need to program and then hit scan.

Way to help there Joey :roll: I'm sure we will remember that the next time you have a question.

Self help is the GREATEST help. If you can't help yourself, nobody can do it for you. The basic rule of everything is to read the instructions.

Well I guess they can just shut down this forum since its just a waste of time helping people. Nobody knows it all like you Joey :roll:

BTW joey i read the manual and didnt understand it and like the dude said if nobody had questions then this site and forums wouldnt be here!!!

OIC, you missed the part that mentions you must program ALL the EDACs freqs in the proper LCN. Thats not what I read from your first post. Gotcha.

This forum provides a valuable resource for information and help, however I often make the mistake of assuming that most people have accomplished the basics.

You ever think that everybody doesn't what LCN means? We are all here to help people as much as we can. If they dont understand something then try explaining it a little better until they do understand.

LCN, EDACS in the PRO-96

One other thing, that I didn't see in the posts I went back through. When you program an EDACS system, start with X01, not on X00. The scanner looks for LCN 1 on the first channel, not the 0 channel.

In other words, if you're in Bank 1, start on 101, not 100. This also means you can't program two distant EDACS systems into the same bank (like you can with a Motorola Type II).

I mentioned that to him in another forum and he is all set and running.

The owners manual defines LCN and tells you to put LCN 1 in channel 01 in the EDACS programming section, etc.

I give up with people that think everyone should know it all like they do.
We now return to your regularly scheduled topic.

I wish I had the authority to lock this topic.
