Have you downloaded the win96 conventional file from radiohacker.com less duplication of key strokes and should make life easier.

Getting conventional channels into your '96 should actually be easier than getting TRS stuff in as you don't need to worry with trunk settings or talk groups. Of the frequencies that you've mentioned there is actually more information there than you need.

Frequency License Type Tone CH Description Mode
1) 155.53500 WPTQ628 BM 141.3 PL RED-1 County Fire North FM
2) 154.22000 WPTQ628 BM 141.3 PL RED-1 County Fire Central FM

For these frequencies, the only things that you need to worry about are
155.53500 141.3 Red-1 County Fire North FM
154.22000 141.3 Red-1 County Fire Central FM

The frequencies will go in whatever frequency spot in whichever bank you choose. You need to set the rx mode from FM (default) to PL and then type in the codes (141.3) under PL/DPL. You only get twelve Aplha characters on a '96 so you'll want to shorten those titles in a way that will make sense to you.

Rinse and repeat as necessary and never let this product get into your eyes. ;)

Thanks for the info on the Conv. File very very helpful i had only a few questions if you know? how do you know what Rx mode the frequncy should use because on the file most of them all are set as CT but some of them are set at DC. and also should the closed be checked or unchecked that is next to the tag at the top? thanks once agian for the file it made it so much easier to see rather then trying to get it explained.

The ones that are DC use digital coded squelch vs Carrier Tone squelch.

The only thing in that file that needs to be changed is Longmont Fire 154.175 from CT 179.9 to DC 343.

Otherwise that file pretty much covers the area.

Remember Kevin, conventional freqs scan until someone talks, there is no control channel to stop the process. And Boulder County might just be quiet tonight.

Best bets for the Boulder County area are the "South" channels. RED-1 151.355 and GREEN 159.270 in the Commerce City area.

The Boulder BLUE 156.135 city of Boulder Channel has an odd distant signal pattern so you may not be able to hear them .

I can get the peoples republic of boulder when I am down here in Littleton fairly well. As for last night, they where rather quiet. On Sunday they put some miles on the rigs that's for sure :).
