ELgin TRS

[FCVPI99]

hello i programed the freqs into Pro 96 and went to elgin and no traffic heard but when i hit manual i wouuld hear CC but all i did was program freqs in i just no changed the 3600CC to milti table and selected 800 MHz re banded is that all i have to do to hear??


plus how do u know when u need to switch to rebanded table .. i scan multiple starcom sties cook kane mchenry boone winnebago and i hope dupage (extended freqs) NWCD analog Schaumburg and Elgin

Elgin did re-band earlier in the year. You will need a scanner that is capable of handling the re-banded frequencies. Not sure if the '96 can handle rebanding.

I believe the Pro-96 will not trunk Starcom on the 700 mhz frequencies.

from what i read 96 can handle re-banding with custom tables
will 96 pic up the 700's?? i can always do what i did back in the day program whole system in and man. lock out CC that day.....

I believe you can go 'old school' with scanning conventionally with the trunking frequencies in the 700 Mhz range. I do not have a '96 so I can't confirm that. Let us know if it works!

will do .. will be going out that way (live 50 miles away) later this month or early next

does anybody know if i have to do custom tables for starcom Schumburg and or streamwood ??

You can only reband the PRO96 using Don Starr 's WIN96 software to enter the tables that are listed on this web site in the RS section, u reband only the bank the system is in...U must choose "custom Extended Tables"....U do not reband any Starcom systems just enter the CC's...U can also check off in the Win96 software "extended freqys" which will extend the limits for 700mgz to be programmed in the scanner, will not trunk it and will be with all the traffic on there impossible to keep up with transmissions plus the sensativity is worse as its really out of the scanners bands....

 

[RoninJoliet]

NWCD also must be rebanded using WIN96 or it will not trunk properly using the "Custom Extended Tables as also Elgin ....Elgin has signed a contract with Motorola to move to the ILL-Starcom in the near future,......

 

[FCVPI99]

there are 3 NWCD systems that i know of - i know the digital system needs custom table does the analog and Schumburg need it also

 

[FCVPI99]

what good comes from extending freqs when the sensitivity sucks??

 

[RoninJoliet]

Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates not rebanded so its listening as usual....If your close enough to the towers-T101-Lisle u could hear the 700 but there are alot of freqys so u need a new 700/800mgz digital scanner....

working on it was gana get a PSR-500 but gana get a PSR-800 .... cuz of the P25 phase 2
