Harris System Issue

[WX4JCW]

Hey Everyone,
got a little bit of an issue, I am trying to program in the new Reno-Washoe County system in my G4, I triple and quadruple checked that ALL the channels were in, SYSID and WACN were correct and talk groups were programmed in properly.

however upon reboot, the system shows out of range and no matter what it won't lock on, I've had this happen when I had the SYSID and WACN programmed wrong in other areas, I also programmed a known 800mhz conventional frequency in the thought there might be something wrong with my radio but it works

any Ideas (See Screenshots) Here is the database entry - Washoe County Simulcast Trunking System, Reno, Nevada - Scanner Frequencies

Thanks in advance

I’ll bet the database has an incorrect RFSS. Change the RFSS and Site to FF’s to double check. Same for the WACN. It will display the correct ones once is locks on to the control channel.

oh yeah I did that already

 

[APX8000]

Oh wait you said HARRIS. Program ALL the frequencies. Harris systems can use any channel as a control channel. Database is only showing 4 channels I’m sure there are a lot more judging by the amount of talkgroups. Check the FCC license.

did that as well also concurrently monitoring on my SDS200 so it should work

Hmm...RFSS of 0 isn't valid in a Motorola radio.

its Harris not Motorola

 

[KevinC]

its Harris not Motorola

I understand, but if they are following the P25 standard 0 isn't allowed.

ok I get you, I'm running on Unitrunker now as well

Your SDS200 should display the correct information, assuming you have the display set to do so.

oh yeah I did that already

then it should display the correct RFSS.....

@KevinC always gets all the credit ! 🤣

when you are that old, You accumulate a lot of knowledge

 

[WX4JCW]

went ahead and submitted the update to the Database, Shes purring like a kitten now

That would be an incorrect statement. Typically I can post the exact correct answer and someone else gets the credit...it's the story of my life (happens at work as well).
