Gatineau P25/RENIR

[DaveH]

The site SHOULD NOT be listed as one number in the DB. The "1" should be in the RFSS column and the remaining numbers in the Site column.

If you look at the Gatineau system (Gatineau Trunking System, Gatineau, Quebec - Scanner Frequencies), it is programmed correctly in the DB. The HQ and RENIR systems are listed completely wrong. (The separate entry for the Montreal Fire part of RENIR is corrected.)

No argument from here, just noting that if it were reduced to one block, 1060 (or 001060) would have
been more numerically (but not formatically)(is that a real word?) accurate. To what extent this affects
downloading I'm not sure, doesn't affect me at the moment.

Just slipping in another datoid, Site 131 (001-031) looks a lot like Huntingdon, which comes in here
fairly often (but not at the moment, so can't confirm).

For scanners, it's not really relevant. But for programs like Unitrunker, it absolutely does not work. And it's not supposed to be reduced to one block. The RFSS and Site fields are two separate fields. If you have site 000-160 in your Unitrunker configuration, and the scanner detects site 001-060, it won't find the right system and you won't be able to download sites, system data, talkgroups, etc.

Again, good luck in getting this kind of thing in. I had a confirmed site in zone 2 for (IIRC) RENIR which was rejected with a reason "This is actually site xyz" - in other words, I was supposedly imagining or making up the site number I supplied.

Sounds like one of you should apply to be database admin considering the way things are going...

If that was directed at me, I can't admin on this site any more - I used to, but I was running into a personal/professional issue that made it better for me to step aside.

I'd be content if the admins who are working the Quebec stuff would accept the information we're contributing and believe us when we post things based on direct monitoring and experience in the field.
