Iowa Statewide Interoperability Communication System (ISICS)

Does anyone know what user group is 30xxx?

It could be Franklin, Fremont, Greene, Grundy, or Guthrie. Probably not Grundy since I think they are on SARA.

County	Talkgroup range start	Talkgroup range end	Radio ID range start	Radio ID range end
Franklin	30001	30200	3500001	3599999
Fremont	30201	30400	3600001	3699999
Greene	30401	30600	3700001	3799999
Grundy	30601	30800	3800001	3899999
Guthrie	30801	31000	3900001	3999999

Thanks for that link.
But I should have been more specific.
Not TGs but radio IDs of 30xxx.

 

[mws72]

Don't see anything in the Wiki for that range.

Looking at my unitrunker user ids. I have a couple in that range, no hits for most. Two do have 25 & 26 hits and the history show them on Region 5 Calling.

Tim, those are TGs. I'm interested in radio IDS for 30xxx.

I have seen some 30xxx ID's on Unitrunker but they have been
on unidentified TG's 9XXX mostly TG 9130. So don't know what agency sorry.

 

[KE0DRS]

Franklin, Fremont, Greene, Grundy, and Guthrie counties all fall in the 30xxx range on the system.

Any reason this antenna would not work to pick up the state system?

I have my 536 hooked up to it and can't hear the state system on it but my 996P2 on the factory antenna sitting 10 ft away will pick up the state system

 

[WB0VHB]

It should work great. I use a similar antenna.
The specs show the antenna has a type N female. These connectors can be a little finicky to make sure the center pin of the connector makes contact with the center socket of the antenna connector. Did you buy a premade cable assembly with a type N male connector on it?

This is the cable I'm using with adapters to hook to the scanner and antenna.

Can you pull in other signals in the area? Like weather radio and other agencies at normal signal levels or are they dead too?

Everything else is good. I can pull in a 2 county radius around home just fine.

You should test if the 536 works with a factory antenna in the exact same place as the 996P2, because the 536 is a better receiver. If it doesn't, you may have another issue. If the site you are monitoring is simulcast, having too much antenna is detrimental for a receiver not specifically designed for P25 simulcast. Very location dependent, including different locations within the same building - even a few feet might make a difference.

Will I am not picking up anything on the 536 ether and I have a rooftop dish-cone antenna. I have been reading all the forums and checking all the setting to see if I am doing anything wrong.

 

[WillB]

It's weird cause on either scanner, I can pick it up on the factory antenna.

 

[N0ZQR]

Sounds to me like you have a antenna/cable/connector problem. Grab a ohm meter and check for opens or shorts. Nothing has changed on the outside antenna?

Nothing that I'm aware of.

Your county (Henry) seems to be covered by various multicast sites, so you are not be experiencing simulcast issues. You state that you can receive the system using the factory back-of-set antenna, so it seems more likely that the problem is either an improperly matched external antenna, antenna grounding, or cabling / connector issue.

I checked the cable with the adapter and without the adapter with my meter today and they showed no resistance. I havent gotten up on the roof because, well, winter.
