Manual Band Plan Entry

[rr60]

Is anyone aware of a way to enter a band plan into G4/5.
A site has stopped transmitting band plan information in the CC. Without this the pager is unable to find the CC. This obviously makes the Site unusable. Thanks.

What makes you think the site has stopped sending a band plan? Which system/site is this?

Start with #15 onward.

NJ State P25 system

Did something change in the NJ P25 system in the last week or so? I don't use my scanner every day but I noticed last night and today that I'm receiving very little, if anything, on the NJICS system. No state police, no EMS, etc. Using a BCD996P2.

Now I understand, but have not seen anyway to enter band plan in G series pagers

Perhaps something for the good folks at uni.tw to ponder. 🤔

The fine folks in Orange County, Florida just went through this. The main site stopped broadcasting the bandplan so the pagers went silent. Unication's response was that this was a system issue and there was nothing they could do.

And it magically fixed itself a few weeks later.

Seems to me “Mission Critical Ready” might include the option to insert a band plan. This would help keep pagers connected and not depend on something that is beyond one’s span of control. Hope this concept not lost in the translation.
