How to program MARCS into a Pro-96

[bigbluemsp]

I checked the pages and could only locate stuff for the Uniden scanners.

I want to add the I-75 corridoor to my Pro-96 as I make a lot of trips to Louisville/Lexington for employment testing and to visit family and friends.

I am using Win96 but how do I configure the setup in order to receive the MARCS system?

I would setup a V Folder with the MARCS on your route on I75. I have several V Folders setup for when I travel I70 from Ohio to Illinois.
Below is an example of my local MARCS bank using a dummie freq between the CC's.

You need to set the bank mode to MOT and RX mode to MOT, it should work fine as long as you have the correct freq entered.

Ok then it's the same as setting up the MPSCS system then.

Ok Thanks

 

[Bucko]

I am not familar with the MPSCS system but setting it up this way works for me....

 

[bigbluemsp]

Whats the dummie freq all about?

 

[Bucko]

The dummie freqs seperate the Control channels so the 96 or 2096 will trunk the sites in that bank. Note that using 000.000 will not work, it has to be a valid freq.

I want to add the I-75 corridoor to my Pro-96 as I make a lot of trips to Louisville/Lexington for employment testing and to visit family and friends.

Here is my file for the I-75 Corridor in Ohio. I have many more Ohio interstate .p96 files in the files area of the Ohio_MARCS Yahoo Group.

By the way I don't use dummie frequenicies between MARCS sites. I insert
actual frequencies that maybe used, mainly interoperable frequencies such as Intercity, LEERN and the NPSPAC frequencies.

For example:

.Dayton 03 868.60000
iCALL 866.01250
.Springfiel3 868.98750
iTAC-1 866.51250
.Greenville4 868.17500
iTAC-2 867.01250
.Sidney 04 868.78750
iTAC-3 867.51250
.Wilberforc1 868.96250
iTAC-4 868.01250
.Wilmington1 868.28750
Intercity 155.37000
.Lebanon 04 868.90000
LEERN F1 154.93500
.Loveland 01 867.06250
