I bought the programing cable and used ARC300 to program most of the freqs I want right now. It was not hard at all. Now my question is how do I program trunking? I want to trunk the following in bank 4
East Windsor Trunking System, East Windsor, Connecticut - Scanner Frequencies
This is all done from within ARC300; IE is not used.
Start ARC300.
Click on the
Internet tab.
In the new window that pops up, enter your RadioReference user name and password.
(If you don't currently subscribe, you can get a three-month subscription for $7.50, six-months for $15 or a year for $30. You will need to subscribe to use this feature.)
When it logs onto RadioRefernce, enter
Connecticut in the state box.
When it loads the Connecticut database, enter
Hartford in the county box.
Click on
trunk Systems (it's the yellow tab) then choose the truck system you want under the "Trunk Systems > > > Select < < < box.
(Let's choose the East Windsor / LTR trunk.)
In the left-hand column under Data, you will see Sites 1, click
select all.
In the right-hand column you will see the talkgroups, click click
select all.
At the bottom of the left-hand column, select
Bank 4.
Click the Import button and ACR300 programs data bank 4 with the 4 frequencies and the 25 talkgroups.
The entire process will take less than a minute.
To program the scanner:
Plug in the cable to the USB port and scanner. The scanner goes into the CLONE mode.
While in ARC300, press the F6 key and the computer programs the scanner.
This process takes a couple of minutes.
If you wish to do this manually into ARC300:
Open web page to
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=4372
Click on the
Bank 4 tab in ARC300
Under
Settings enter
EastWindsor/LTR in the box "Bank Name"
Check the box "Bank Enabled"
Bank type is
LTR
Go to
Frequencies tab, enter following frequencies in this exact order:
#401
453.3375
#402
453.425
#403
453.5875
#404
460.275
(All of these are LTR under mode column)
In the
Talkgroups tab, under slot number 0-00 enter:
104081 (in the RadioReference database it is shown as 1-04-081).
In the Alpha Tag column enter
FireDispatch (or whatever seems easy for you to understand)
In the next Talkgroups tab, slot number 0-01 enter the next entry
104082, it's alpha tag and so forth until you have all 26 Talkgroups entered.
