Meca fix for scanners/system 1

[WA9JGB]

Meca

Why only 14 frequencies instead of 24? I am trying it now. I hope it works.

I am new to scanning. I did get a GRE-500. Should I program this fix as I live in Indy in the 46220 sip code any help would be great!

No. The order has no bearing on your reception. The scanner isn't checking for multiple CC's because MECA only uses one CC at a time.

I know that for EDACS you have to go by the LCN but if you started say LCN 1 on ch 000 on the 2053 it would not work it should and should make no diffrence what so ever never found out why got rid of the old 2053 long time go but in the bank set up for some reason using ch 000 never worked but start at ch 001 it did who knows always gave up and matched the ch up starting at ch 001 scannerfreak is right it should not make one bit of diffrence but like I said the 2053 it would not work heck maybe its just me doing somthing wrong back then but if I started at 001 and LCN 1 it worked for Hamilton County and meca

That is definitely true. That is a known issue for RS scanners, LCN 1 must be on channel 1. If you enter LCN 1 in channel 0 it will not trunk properly. I don't recall if they ever mentioned it in the owner's manual or not. The same applied to my Pro-96.

This is not true MECA the only system in the state that does use two CC at the same time that divide the county see other MECA threads that this was talked about a lot
This is for System 1 only

That could have an effect on how one should scan the system if they are using a GRE scanner. Should one use the multi-site, roaming, or stationary setting?

My point is you don't set it up as a multi-site roam system. That way the scanner only grabs one CC and then is done searching.

thats why I said...Pick the strongest CC and lockout the rest to pervent the scanner from even looking at the other CC....they are pretty much the same strength in certain areas

Some scanners ignore the L/O for control channels. A better idea would be to not even include them in your mix.

True!
