How to program Bell FleetNet Zone 2 for BCD325P2

[Tim_Mcgee]

Band Plan1:
141.0150, 143.9850, 15.0, 380

Band Plan2:
151.7300, 152.5100, 15.0, 579

Band Plan3:
154.3200, 156.2250, 15.0, 632

Thanks but when I do that, what do I do after it’s done.I tried that today and I couldn’t hear anything So I don’t know what I am doing wrong ?

I just want to make sure I have the right Band Plans
When I go to the site I do new site then Custom ? Then enter band plans ?

I am going to be doing it tomorrow, so I will tell you each step I do just so I know I will make it work out this time

Did you program in the frequencies in the sites?
Did you program in the TGIDs in the groups? If you didn't then set the System to ID Search and see if you hear anything.

An advantage of using Freescan or my ProScan is that we can look at the programming for any mistakes.

Perhaps, take a look at some of the YouTube videos. Search for 'programming bcd325p2', or 'programming trunk system DMA scanners', etc.

I'm really sure that it will be so much easier to troubleshoot when using Freescan. When the database file is uploaded here then usually we can see the problem right away instead of taking a day or longer with manual programming.

What version of Windows are you using?

Common problems with the software not communicating with the scanner:
1. USB cable not connected or using a power only USB cable.
2. Scanner needs a power cycle.
3. Serial Port driver not installed or not working. Use the Win Device Manager to get more info on that.

Here are the very basic steps: I would still look over the Easier to Read manual and the YouTube videos.

1 Create a new MOT (Motorola) system
2. Set the system options
3. Create a new site
4. Set the site options
5. Enter in the frequencies in the new site created in step 3
6. Go to the band plan menu then choose Custom then enter in band plans 1 to 3
7 Do step 3 to 6 again for another site
8. Create a new group
9. Set the group options
10. Enter in the TGIDS in the new group created in step 8
11. Do step 8 to 10 again for another group

I am doing the site now so do I put all of the Frequencies in one site ? Or do I create sites for all of the different Frequencies and each site has the same Band Plans numbers

Put just the frequencies assigned to that site.

The Ottawa (CARLSL) site has these frequencies assigned

141.405	141.690	141.870	142.095c	142.155	142.245
142.335	142.680	142.830c	142.890

Don't put frequencies from other sites in this site.

Thank you. Can I please have the Band Plan and Spacing, Offsets again, please.

Thank you can I please have the Bands and spacing offsets again please

How do I know what TG area to put in to the Groups ?

How do I know what TG area to put in to the Groups ?

In this system Bell FleetNet Ontario Provincial Government Zone 2 Trunking System, Southeast Zone, Ontario
Scroll down to Talkgroups. 1st group is:
Interagency/Common/Mutual Aid

DEC	HEX	Mode	Alpha Tag	Description	Tag
8000	1f40	D	2PC ENF	Enforcement Common	Interop
9600	2580	D	2PC PPS	Peterborough Police Service	Interop
9616	2590	D	2PC BPS	Brockville Police Service	Interop
32768	8000	A	2PC SAF	Southeast Zone Public Safety Common	Interop
32800	8020	A	2PC AMB	Southeast Zone Ambulance Common	Interop
32816	8030	A	2PC POL	Southeast Zone Police Common

You don't need all the TGIDs like you do with frequencies in sites. You can pick and choose which TGID's you want to listen to. You can put TGID's from one group into another group.
Don't worry about the service tags on the far right side. I mean they can't be inputted in your scanner.

Thank you. Is there an OPP TG I can put in as well?

Search the webpage for 'OPP'
I see
OPP Combined (Regular Operations)
OPP Detachment (Detachment Special Events)
OPP Intelligence
and a couple more

Do I need to put in more sites for that or just need groups and is it possible to do Zone 1 as well ?

I would just use the site/s near you for now. If you plan on traveling then later, put in other sites.
All the groups within the system are automatically linked to the site/s.

Zone 1 is another system. Do that one later. Just try to get Zone 2 system working first.

When it's time to program Zone 1, The Band Plans are the same as Zone 2.

Thank you it’s working great! I’m hearing lots of EMS calls I think there a an OPP traffic on Zone 1 so would that work in my area ?

Great to hear!!! If zone 1 system has a site near you then it should. Zone 1 is a different system, as you know, so the whole process of programming a system has to be repeated.

Yes I will check around but if you can assist with that would be great

If you don't mind, just go through this thread. Start with the very basic steps in #24 and see if you can do it without assistance.

I'll be here if you run into a snag, but try to do it.
