How would I go about programming my 396xt to pick up gsp for Spalding county? Is it p25? One freq trunk or trunking and about the NAC etc. I can't get anything to pick up thanks

Also using 154.6800 MHz in analog mode with no CTCSS, DCS, or NAC needed.

Can anyone provide info as to when GSP plans to migrate to their P25 network? The p25 sites for northwest GA have been licensed for quite some time now, but their new freqs are silent and they continue using their old two-frequency simplex system. Are there delays? Thanks.

GSP Hinesville still on TG 12877 from SEGARRN site 103 (Statesboro) as of 5 minutes ago, dispatcher is still in Brunswick GA despite the voice ID of Hinesville Post 11.
This is P-25 Phase 1 700 MHz. No sign of any other P-25 aciivity heard here.

OK I've been monitoring gsp freq. In griffin on my 396xt. Newnan P25 on 154.7025 comes in CRYSTAL CLEAR. BUT... I'm in griffin and the specified freq for griffin I have programmed in silence! What gives? I also hear 154.68 154.905 static though. Not p25 I'm not sure where these are. But the griffin gsp I haven't discovered yet. I even had a trooper pull over a car 30 yds from where I was put it on close call. NOTHING

Never mind I just looked it up 154.7025 is state wide gsp p25 digital channel. Spalding is using this one as well. Let me tell you the p25 154.7025 is night and day to the analog. Loud and clear.

Don't see the problem. It's not a trunking frequency. You just have to import it to the software. Program as FM, select NAC, and the numbers/letters entered in the appropriate columns.
I just updated my 106 and 197 yesterday and today through Win500.

I don't know if this will help as I have a 396 but I put it conventional program manually 154.92 Bibb co. Set to auto and it should pick up analog and digi. Right now I am hearing half digi half non. If there is a auto setting put it on. I have been hearing them use other frequencies than most listed on the list. 151.22 154.7025 154.68. Hope this helps.

Are the old 42.02 and 42.18 MHz listings still valid after all these years? When I'm passing through I don't think I've heard anything on there in a very long time.

Thanks.

If I see a GSP Post listed in the RadRef database with a P25 frequency of 0.0000 does that mean they haven't fired up a P25 repeater yet? Or does it mean they use the county TRS?

For example, in Troop B Banks, Hall, and White counties show 0.0000 frequency so are they still on the old 154.68 / 154.8 pair? There's no notation above that troop (like others have) that they are using a local trunked system.

Thanks.

GEMA finally dropped the requirement for a rescue vehicle to have a low band radio on that old low band state net a few years ago. During rescue specialist (now it's known as EMR), this was always mentioned as a requirement though the instructor always chuckled as not one rescue vehicle he knew of had a low band radio.

IIRC GSP has not used it since the mid 80s.
