LTR Database

[charlesbrogan]

Can anyone provide the web address or information on how to obtain an LTR FCC Database and FCC Channel Database.

I am trying to program a TK-480 and it doesn't ask for Fx it asks for FCC Channel.

Thanks,

Charles

go to FCC rules 90.613, actually there are several rules together in 610 range, and you will find the 800 frequency tables that give the channel number and frequency. Here is a short example:
1.......... 851.0125

2.......... .0375

3.......... .0500

4.......... .0625

5.......... .0750

the FCC has no idea what manufactuer is using the frequency, that is they are not seperated for LTR or macom.

The numbering will be all messed up when rebanding occurs as frequencies are being shifted around. A radio that requires programing by channel number instead of frequency may well be useless after rebanding unless it can be modified by the manufactuer.

The FCC does not differentiate among trunking system types. All channels are the same no matter what the system. Why manufacturers insist on using the FCC channel lineup is a mystery (considering the changes in the wind) but you should find the FCC line up here (hopefully that is what Kenwood had in mind):

That is what happens when I take the time to find a link...

Gill beat me to the punch.

I had to use the 2004 channel plan with the LTR Kenwood I have (TK-940). So double check you've got the right one.

I don't program radios, but if you are going to program a trunk system into a commercial radio, I've read on previous posts that there is a system key that you need. I don't know what it is, but only the company and the system admin have it. I can be wrong, just trying to help.

System keys do not apply to LTR systems.

Thank you for the responses

Thank you for the responses

I am now looking for the KPG-35D software for a Tk-480.

Also what do you mean when you say after rebanning it will be useless? We (LE local community) just rebanned becuase of Nextel and that is what we are still using. Is there future rebanning in the works?

The FCC channel numbers are different in the new rebanded chunk of spectrum.
