Today i was tracking michigan public safty comm system and tried to give the site and system a name but unitrunker wouldnt save it.
System id is 92493-796
Site id is 002-021 with was St.Clair tower
When i try to enter that it just dont save. tried to pull up the file for it and i could not get it to save that way either. It would keep coming up as APCO P25 System
Any ideas? I took screen shots of each tab when i had the system up. i can add them if needed

It would keep coming up as APCO P25 System

The system initially appeared on the screen as something like ...

APCO P25 System 92493-796 unnamed Site 002-021 unnamed Qual 99%

There's two "unnamed" labels above. The first is the system label. The second is the site label. The text above not in bold should not change (other than signal quality %'age) while monitoring this site.

To edit the site label, the following should work:

[F]ind -> Ste -> tab over to the "Known Sites" field. Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the list of sites. When you see the site you wish to label (eg. should match the currently monitored site) press [Enter].

Tab over to the Label field and type a suitable label. Press [Enter] when done.

I dont see the site number in the known sites tab
Iv got 202, 203, 204, 206, 20d, 20f, 213, 215, 701.
Im looking for 221 for St.Clair County
And at the stop. How it says
APCO P25 System 92493-796 unnamed Site 002-021 unnamed
Is site 002-021 the same as site 221 on the database for Michigan Public Safty System?

Is site 002-021 the same as site 221 on the database for Michigan Public Safty System?

Yes.

In hexadecimal format, the site is four digits with a dash in the middle ... XX-YY. In decimal it is six digits with a dash in the middle ... XXX-YYY. The site numbers can range from 001-001 to 255-255 in decimal or 00-00 to FF-FF in hexadecimal. If your radio displays a four digit site number (like the PRO96) - you're seeing a hexadecimal number. I suspect the RR DB admins and the folks submitting the information haven't caught on to this because most sites use low numbers eg. 01-01 or 01-02.

Would that mean that Site 002-015 is the same as 215?
And 001-001 would be 101?

If I understand the way the information is shown in the DB, yes. For 215, your radio would display something like "T020F". The letter "F" is the hexadecimal digit for 15.
