MaCom M7100ip VHF channels?

[merlin]

I have a number of MAHG-8HHXX radios 136 to 174 MHz 110 watt. For all the channels I have stuffed into these, I am not even close to exhausting systems,
Channel sets, or channels. It looks like 1000 channels per set, way over 100 system sets.
Anyone have a clue as to the total number of channels? (one would think I would know this.)
What is in these now is all 10 NOAA broadcast channels, All of the active NOAA sattelite channels, All 88 ITU Marine channels.
Nearly all of the 2 meter symplex channels, and 2 meter repeater channels for over 20 counties.

The limit is 255 systems and I believe 1000 channels in total for the 7100 platform.

Scanning will take like 5 minutes to go through that many channels, if you try to put that many all in one system, and it starts to get buggy once you start to get to the total channel limit.

I try to limit my scan members to 100 or so. There used to be a bug that if you went over 128ish, the radio wouldnt actually be scanning at all.
I have no issues scanning all 97 AAR channels in mine.

That was only for P25T talkgroups. The 1000 unique channel identifer limit, mentioned earlier, is in reference to conventional and P25C channels.

Yea, conventional channels. I have broken up my scan groups mainly for faster scanning.
About 30 of them from 25 systems.
I need to look at my .per to see just how many channels I have but certainly upward of 500.
I have much the same channeling in my XG-100M, but add low VHF and UHF, not counting NAS State systems.

Hmm, 280 channels, not as many as I thought. That means I can add San Bernardino, LA, and San Diego countys.

 

[merlin]

OK, one radio I am playing with says 65535 channels (WOW)

That's kinda misleading. There have been forum posts about this in the past.
