EDACS site ID's

[jparks29]

I'm programming a RX only radio for a customer, and I know in EDACS systems if the site ID is not set properly, it won't acknowledge the control channel. The default Site ID is 0 , however, VALID ranges in programmer are 1 through xxx.

Will Unitrunker display Site ID's, AND , if I program a site ID of 0 in, will it allow it to be programmed in, and is it a normal 'default' for systems to be programmed that way?

I've sent the radio to the customer, who can hear the control channel in conventional mode, but the radio is still displaying CC scan... I made sure it scans ALL the channels as possible control channels, and the only thing that I have questions about is the site ID..

I'm thinking if I set it back to 0 ,then it should solve the problem... unless I'm missing something...

The radio was working fine on a local EDACS 800 system,tuning is spot on, it is NOT an ESK system, the system in question is Miami County, OH...

I want to make sure it gets programmed right this time, I don't want to inconvenience my customer by playing mail tag...

Thanks guys..

UniTrunker displays the EDACS site id as a system ID. So yes, it is displayed - although not in the place you might expect. I don't have an answer for the rest of your question.

The database here at this site identifies that system's site ID number as 001.


Which is no guarantee of accuracy.


However, the general policy of edacs systems seems to be that the first site installed in a system is always ID no. 1. The second is ID no. 2. And so on....
