Do you have a question about how Cap+ works? If not then I’m moving this to the Illinois forum.

Cap+ has more than one frequency at minimum 2 and voice channels are voice Data are data . You are getting a Mototrbo repeater with 2 time slots confused with a Cap + system

I built many single repeater Capacity Plus trunked systems. They were a perfect fit for small operations that wanted a true system wide "all call".
In fact, several of them are in the RR DB incorrectly as conventional systems.

As R8000 stated, this is not correct. A Cap+ system can have only one repeater and voice /data can be mixed on the same timeslot.

Feel free to submit correct information. This is after all a user-driven site.

I have also installed dozens and dozens of them for the above reasons. Each repeater is 2 slots, so a single repeater has 2 "channels" (a 2 channel trunking system if you will). If you add a second repeater, now you have 4 available slots. All the way up to 8 repeaters, which is 16 slots and can handle hundreds of talkgroups very easily. TT

Why is this puzzling? One repeater, two timeslots. One frequency can handle trunking / voice / data all on one frequency for a small company.

I see what he is saying now. I thought he was saying that Cap+ can only have one repeater, which would be incorrect. But I see what he's getting at now.

Thank You for your suggestions, there talking more using one frequency and seem to use only one TG 135, and seem to have about 10 UIDs assigned for each security guard in the i60xx range and seems to only stop on "Slot 2,....

Not familiar with the 996p2, but a radio will only have 1 uid (radio id)) Is it possible you are seeing private calls between sec guards?

The small i (eye) on the 996P2 indicates a radio ID. In later model scanners, the small i was eliminated to document radio ID's (x36hp/SDS series). I don't remember how private calls were displayed on the older model scanners.
