freescan help

[steve352]

I just downloaded freesccan and I am waiting for the cable but figured I could get a start on programing. Question is when you program a trunked p25 for 800 whre do you put the dec numbers I did not see a place.

If you're referring to NAC, Pretty sure it's here

More well-used term to avoid confusion here is "talkgroup" as DEC and HEX are also used for system IDs

ok so you are saying that talkgroup is the same as dec and hex. So is there a listing for that on freescan?

You would need to become a Radioreference premium subscriber to import data directly from the Radioreference database into Freescan or other third party programming apps. Trust me it makes programming much much easier

Notice the DE in the mode? This means this tg is encrypted full time. No scanner can decode it

looking at the ones that are D

NOT looking to import directly just looking for the spot that has the DEC

Yes I know that looking for the D

1103	44f	D	MCFR Primary	Fire Primary	Fire Dispatch
1104	450	D	MCFR Scene 1	Fire Scene 1	Fire-Tac
1105	451	D	MCFR Scene 2	Fire Scene 2	Fire-Tac
1106	452	D	MCFR Scene 3	Fire Scene 3	Fire-Tac

Take a look at this video. Field you're looking for is "TGID" which stands for talkgroup ID

 

[ka3aaa]

dec is the talk group number and is put under talk groups if i remember correctly.

It sounds like you are trying to program talkgroups by just entering them directly.

You need to first create a trunked system in FreeSCAN, enter the site frequencies, then add the talkgruops (those DEC's you seem to reference) in groups for the system.

There is a User Guide for FreeSCAN in the Wiki:
FreeScan User Guide - The RadioReference Wiki

Also read through: Trunking Basics - The RadioReference Wiki

Note that FreeScan doesn't support either the 436HP, 536HP, SDS100 or SDS200 scanners (if one of these is the one you are trying to program). This is a very common mistake. For these scanners, you need to use Sentinel. I didn't see which scanner you are using?

Per the model tag on the thread, he's dealing with a 396XT

 

[wtp]

he has a 396XT, as the 'doc' had pointed out to me...

Using FreeSCAN, click on NEW SYS. Make the System Type P25 Standard (Digital XT) and name it. Click on Create System. Click on (GRP) TGID Group 1. You can name the group and give it a quick key. Click on the green plus icon to add a talkgroup. The alpha tag goes into the Display column and the DEC number goes into the TGID column. Click on (P25S) Site 1. Give it a name and a system quick key. Make Site Type P25 Standard (Digital XT). Click on Trunk Frequencies to add frequencies for the site. You can click on NEW SITE and NEW GRP to add sites and groups as needed.
