Campbell tower
I lost reception of the Ohio Marc's system in the Youngstown Ohio Area a couple months ago , I assume because of rebanding. I updated the frequencies on the various sites, but still hear nothing on the 996T but just yesterday started hearing OSP on the 996XT.
Does anyone know if I have to go through the below instructions posted on ProScan support in 2009 to restore marcs or am I making this more complicated than it needs to be?
1) Make a backup of the database.
2) In the database treeview click on the rebanded system to select the system.
3) Click on "Add" then choose "Site (Frequencies)" next choose "800 MHz Custom"
4) Now that the Custom site has been added, click the "Band Plan" button and fill in the lower freq, upper freq, spacing, and offset. then click "OK"
5) Drag the frequencies from the old site to the new site.
6) Delete old site.
7) Upload with the "Delete All Items in Scanner That Is Not In The Database".
I am using ProScan v. 6.7 on a Uniden 996T with latest firmware installed.
I have not yet gone through the instructions outlined above because I don't understand them.
Upper and lower frequencies? Do i have to do these for each tower site (are they different for each site)
Spacing? How do I determine this?
Offset? How do I determine this?
Can you give me an example of how to determine the numbers I need. Any other info would be helpful.
Here's the info from RR I'm working with.
