Help! Need RPD!

[k2hz]

Which system do you have it set on?

I use Monroe East since I am in Brighton. If you are on the Westside, Monroe West is probaly best. Monroe East tends to have most TGs other than some FD local TGs in the far west. Monroe East usually has Ontario Law and Fire Dispatch TGs active. Monroe South may have some additional Ontario actvity but miss some low activity Monroe TGs. RPD should be good on both East and West at all times.

i dont have a computer, just iPhone

If you want a good scanner app for iPhone I recommend Scanner Radio by Gordon Edwards. Great app and great support.

I would agree with this!!

Im setting it up now. Do I chose P25 Trunk or
P25-TX/2?

What are you setting up? I don't understand what "P25-TX/2" is.

 

[wtp]

Motorola P25 Phase I&II, X2-TDMA,
mixed a little of each ?

 

[k2hz]

What are you setting up? I don't understand what "P25-TX/2" is.

In any event, the system is Motorola (actually Harris) P25 Phase II and should be programed with the current RRDB info with whatever software you use.

 

[Racechick01]

System type
These are the choices:
P25
P25 X2-TDMS
P25 One Frequency
Motorola
MotorolaTRBO Trunk
DMR One Frequency
NXON Trunk
NCDN One Frequency
EDRCS

Motorola P25 Phase I&II, X2-TDMA,
mixed a little of each ?

You can only pick one, so do I pick P25 Trunk or P25 X2-TDMA?

 

[wtp]

Set System Type to P25 Auto (this covers Motorola Phase 2).
you might have trouble with reception as it is simulcast.

 

[GTR8000]

There are no more P25 X2-TDMA systems in existence, so you would never use that system type for any P25 system.

Thanks!

Consider using OpenMHz. There's an amazing soul who has a scanner set up in the area, and it receives from the entirety of the P25 simulcast. This link goes directly to scanning RPD frequencies only, and you can go back to listen to earlier calls. You can also get an app on your phone, conveniently called OpenMHz. Just go to "Monroe and Ontario Counties, New York P25 Digital Trunk System".

P25 X2-TDMA was the Motorola implementation of TDMA (Phase 2) before the P25 specification was finalized. As stated earlier, it no longer exists. P25 covers both Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Thank you but I just bought the Uniden SDS100

If you really want to listen in your area, the best thing to do is, get a Unication G4.
Yes, it's a pager, but it scans these 700mhz/800Mhz trunked P25 systems and it works better than any of the scanners out there. The price of the pager will probably cost $600-$700+ depending on where you are going to buy it from.

The Uniden SDS is going to suit him just fine.

There's certainly enough to listen to in Monroe County and the SDS100 can do the job. The system will quickly outgrow the 64 talkgroup per system limit on the G4.
