Greetings,
I have been away from scanning for a number of years. I have a Home Patrol 2 set up and working.
I am having an issue with setting up for the fire dispatch in my county (Deschutes County, Oregon). From talking to the file chief at one of our towns, he said a year or so ago they went to P25 Phase 2 (unencrypted). Like me, he is an Extra Class amateur radio operator) and is most familiar with communication systems..
He further mentioned that there is a tri-county radio fire system that covers Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson countries. However, I just updated the database in Sentinel and it still has the old 150 MHz stations listed.
I do have a statewide listing that groups frequencies by discrete areas in the state. The information seems to show the Phase 2 set up. Is the listing that Sentinel downloads still kept up to date? If not is it possible to enter the data through sentinel? The excerpted list that I am interested is is below. Help on how to do this will be needed. Is each listing considered a trunk? I love learning new things, so this will be a golden opportunity.
I checked to see if there were firmware updates, but then I realized that the HP2 isn't hooked up to the internet. So I need to dig out the manual and find the procedure for this. As I said, it has been a probably 7 years since I had the scanner in use.
Any help will be most appreciated.
