Need help setting up DC PD/FD in BC396T

[BM82557]

I have a new BC396T with ARC396 software. I want to setup the DC PD/FD 460mhz/850mhz system. I know that I have to program 460mhz and 850mhz as separate systems as I have read this in other posts. My question is Motorola Type 2 UHF the correct system type for MPD on 460mhz?

Yes, that's exactly right. Only use P25 if the system is true P25 (MPD is not).

and since you have ARC396 - and it's kinda unique in our area to have to use 2 offsets to trunk that system correctly - here is a jpeg of the screen to set that up...

Ka3jjz:

Would you be willing to share your .usd file for DC's MPD with a true 396 noob?

Sri can't help you there - perhaps someone else here can. That JPEG came from another user; I decided to capture it since it's so unique to our area. 73s and GL..Mike

There are numerous DC .usd files available in the files area of the BCD396 Yahoo group at:
