I have a BCT15x and also live in Columbus. I am trying to use FreeScan to program and wanna separate out each zone.. Can you help me out? I am new to scanners and would appreciate the help.
First we have to establish what system you are trying to separate. I would guess it is: Franklin County Public Safety Trunking System
and then I would assume you are talking about the police zones. If so, you need to create a Moto TypeII/p25 trunking system. Then create groups for the zones, and enter some or all of the Columbus PD Far North (Zone 1) Talkgroups using the DEC. For example 1328 PATROL 1 Repeat this for the other zones you want. . If this is not the system, please supply the link.
This is a good guide: FreeScan User Guide - The RadioReference Wiki Check Editing a Trunked System, see Type 2/P25 selected
then Create/Edit Site, then Create Group, Editing a Trunked Group
Here, you create as many groups as you need for all the zones you want.
