radio shack

radio shack - handheld digital trunking - I think its Pro-106

Do you have the programming cable or software or are you programming by hand?

I program by hand

I have a 197 I program by software and programming cable. Let me get home and I will see if I can help you any better.

great

thanks for the assistance - I actually do have the cable but don't have access to a good computer - I found programming by hand easier anyway - thanks

The above thread, in which you replied to, has a sample file for Caldwell County in it that includes NCSHP. You could download the software and take a look at the programming to see a working Caldwell County setup that includes NCSHP.

The short answer to your question is to receive NCSHP for F Troop which covers Caldwell is that you program in the Viper Hibriten tower and add talkgroup IDs for F Troop (52187-52194 and 52229). The reason you need all the those TGIDs is that, even though 52191 is labeled as Caldwell, I don't think it's accurate and have not taken the time to figure out the naming scheme as I normally listen to all of F Troop. It's not uncommon to hear Newton calling Caldwell cars on other TGIDs.

For further information (and a known working setup) I again advise you to download the trial version of Win500 and the file in the above listed thread. It has been confirmed as working by the OP that was having a problem.

I've tried every trick I know to unzip the Caldwell file - I can't seem to make it work . any suggestions ?

 

[ncdadof3]

Is it a win 500 file?

win500

yes , I don't have access to a good computer - I have been trying Android apps that are supposed to open zip files - so far no luck

Honestly you don't need a good computer to run a zip shell or a WIN500.

If I get a few minutes today I'll try to do a few screen grabs and post them to this thread that shows how NCSHP is programmed in that file. At the very latest I should have some time to post them over the weekend if you don't find a solution before then.

great

really great of you to go to the trouble , Thanks ! meanwhile I'll keep hacking away at it -
: )

Ok here is the basic programming for NCSHP in Caldwell on that setup from the other thread. It's VERY vanilla and nothing special but here is a visualization of it.

thanks

thanks draf for posting the screenshot of NCSHP frequencies & talk groups ! I really appreciate it ! - the is college move-in weekend so it might take me a couple days to plug them in the scanner & post feedback , but I certainly will - thanks again !

 

[Drafin]

Anytime.

If you need anything further , feel free to ask and I'll do what I can.
