Mode type

[Rick36695]

In the database on the header listing each group of frequencies is the tag Mode under the column is a 'letter or two' I've figured out RM is a standard repeater like a ham radio 2 meter repeater and I'm guessing D is digital and DE is digital encrypted but is their a key to all the modes used by RR?

I think you are mixing up 'Mode' with 'Type' (which is where you'll find those abbreviations). If you float your mouse over the column header, and have JavaScript enabled in your browser, you will get a pop up balloon with the definitions for each. That trick will work with other columns too....Mike

From the RadioReference wiki, there is a Database Administrator Handbook that would probably answer your question, check out pages 14&15:

Ok pages 14-15 answered half my question it gave the mode "codes" for analog and on page 19 answered the rest of my question that page lists the "codes" for digital talk groups.

Going back to the forums I found that "E" means encrypted full time and "e" means the transmissions are encrypted part time however, some transmissions on that talk group maybe in the clear. I also found that by highlighting the word Mode at the header of that particular chart the explanations to the letters used in that chart magically appear.

Just a suggestion: just as all maps have a key, I believe it would be very helpful to have a sticky note in both the beginners and this forum outlining how to read RR frequency charts, and little hints and tips about the chart.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks that exactly what I was looking for. And yes I had my terms mixed up, that explains why I couldn't find the answer by using search.
