Need Help programming RS Pro 91 trunking radio please.

[ezernie]

I'm a bit fuzzy on programming. I set up this radio three or four years ago and was scanning mostly north meck county area. I reprogrammed it about a year ago after a long power loss, had a little trouble but finally got it right again. I used the list on the TrunkTracker site, Mecklenburg area.
About a month ago it stopped scanning the ID's in the bank I usually scan. I went back through, checked all frequentcies and ID settings again, reveiwed the manual again, but for some reason can still only get a few ID's to scan in one other bank. No loss of power this time so I feel something else may have happened or changed this time.
I've also noted there were no frequency numbers listed in the 'north' section at this site. Only, S. E. W.
What am I missing?

Thanks,
E.T.

There are news updates for the system concerning the North site
as you may be aware.

Also numerous talk group updates Nov.22 in RR Database Have a look.

Yes, I seen the post of some changes but don't know what it all means. I'm a newby at this. Is there a programming for dummies book?

Thanks

ezernie, don't sell yourself short..

Apparantly,you should enter the Main site set of freq.'s (South) for monitoring the North zone (they are simulcasting)

Are you receiving the control channel ?


Check out the North Carolina forum for more details.

Hope these suggestions help.

It was a data channel problem I guess. I took the (4) data channels out that I entered from the RR list, only entered one back in at a time until I got the right one. It wouldn't work with all four entered and it ended up not being the one in red either.

Anyway, it's working now and I'll continue to try and get more educated on it.

Thanks Again
