Steve, on a Uniden scanner, the LCN is 958.

The true Channel ID of 1917 has to be published in the database.

If you use the Channel ID's then they are wrong. To get a working LCN for your Uniden scanner take each of those numbers minus one (-1), then divide by 2.

Let's use Fort Erie for example.
420.4625 LCN is 918. 1837-1= 1836/2= 918
420.7750 LCN is 943. 1887-1= 1886/2= 943

You should notice a difference after making this change.

We have been instructed to put Channel ID's in the database. If we put the LCN's in the database we would show a bias towards Uniden.

The database is meant to be a reference for all manufacturers of receivers.

My apologies, I should have said LSN of 1917/1918 as the two slots for 420.9625 in place of LCN. I don't do Uniden. ;)

It does cause confusion. When these DT3 systems first came out, I used the LCN Finder on my BCD536HP. I put them into the database.

I tried to use the argument that most members overwhelmingly use Uniden and it would make their programming so much easier.

No dice and I was instructed to change them all.

Mc that math is important. I wonder if it can be easily added to the database? As we know there are a lot of Uniden's out there. I bet a lot of issues arise from similar LCN math issues.
Maybe as a simple text line under the LCN/Frequency Table?

I have something prepared in the Misc System Information box on some of those DT3 systems

I will add it to Federal

To monitor this system with your Uniden scanner, go to the CH ID list. You can find that listing by clicking on the Site Names.

A channel menu will appear. Subtract one (-1) from the channel ID and divide by two ( /2) This will give you the Uniden LCN.

Modify your programming with the new values and it will be monitorable with your Uniden product.
