Hello,
I need a bit of help programming for the ICIS system. I'm using FreeScan on a BCD996XT. I've read a bunch of posts on the same subject, but I'm confused concerning which system to create and where to put freqs once in that system.
I've read that the ICIS is a Motorola Type II Smartzone on the site (and UHF on another), but the system drop down in FreeScan only has Motorola 800Mhz Type I and Motorola Type II / P25. I guessed and used Type II, but the Site that is formed has Mot 800Mhz Standard (Type II), Mot 800Mhz Splinter (Type II), Mot UHF Band, and Mot P25/P25 Standard as possibilities (there are others, but these all had some terminology in common with the original system type—the others didn't seem to). But both Type II's didn't have a band plan in the Site Setup tab (I read that there should be a band plan somewhere), so I guessed Mot UHF Band but didn't know which feqs go where (which are control freqs etc.) as far as the Band Plan, Trunk Frequencies Tab, and the TGID's were concerned.
I got the scanner to kinda scan, but it kept blinking on a single freq.
Needless to say that I'm a bit lost. If I just knew where to put what, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I got LAPD working great, thanks to Steve and Mike, and since I'm close to Burbank I'd love to hear what's going on over there. Just the other night there was an airship circling and LAPD was called to assist, but they switched to Burbank freqs and I was totally bummed that I couldn't hear the rest of the exchange.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be as specific as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
