I have entered every talkgroup listed in the database here in my PSR-500 for both state systems, 800 and Latie 700. If anyone has a PSR-500 or 600 and uses Mike Van Der Veer's psredit software I will be happy to send you my files if you want them. With the psredit software you can import just one system or both into one of your own files. It will save you a whole lotta typing. The 800 system has over 600 talkgroups and the 700 system has almost 700 talkgroups so far. I have entered them all complete with alphatags. Anyone who wants the files just post an email address or send me a pm with an email address that I can send them to. I also have v scanner folder files for road trips originating from Lafayette and going North on I-19, West on I-10, East on I-10 to BR and then to New Orleans, and East on US-90. I also have another v folder file with many of the state's airport frequencies with a different airport in each scan list. Just let me know what you want.

Let me make a comment about loading all of the CCh's for the 800 system. You will often run into interference when you do this. What may be a valid CCh frequency in the Baton Rouge area for the state's 800 system may prove to be the CCh for Orange Co. TX when you get just west of Lake Charles. In the Lake Charles area there are several non-state TRS that use frequencies for CCh's that are used by the state in other portions of the state. I have run into this situation in the north part of the state also, but since I don't travel up there much, can't recall what does what.

This is a situation that I think the scanner manufacturers could address by adding a SysID field (with a default to any) that could be set so that you could enter a SysID when you set up a TRS, if the SysID is not correct, it ignores that CCh.

This is the great thing about the 996. You can put each of the sites in and tie in the gps coordinates. When you are close to the tower, on it comes....you get out of range and it automatically switches off.

This is true. Of course you have to have a GPS receiver interfaced with it (not everyone does). However, having the SysID as a programmable check would eliminate all doubt.

I noticed the new site 146 with a CC of 764.21875 added to the database. Does anyone know where or about where this site is located? I noticed that it has the same CC freq as Geismar so it must be in another part of the state.


I just sat down and read through these forums. Site 146 was heard with two bars in Sulphur, La. I suspect that it is DeQuincy. The Hackberry, Lake Charles, and Vinton Towers are identified. Also Rosepine so I will suspect DeQuincy however until confirmed I didn't post it. No time to run up there to confirm. Look at my further posts for maps and files.

I can't figure out how to add maps to either the forums or the database. Once that info is obtained I will give a map for both the 800 and LATIE systems and a Google Earth placemarks file for the towers I have mapped so far.

What exactly are you asking for?

In theory, any talkgroup could be heard on any site. Some will be excluded from certain sites by system administrators.

thats the answer that i was looking for kevin. i was putting all of the system id for latie on my 396 cause i do a lot of traveling, and i just wanted to know if each site had to be programmed seperately--I:E Lafayette freqs with the all the Laf TGIDs, if you see what i'm saying.

Like Kevin said...any radio can be associated with any tower. It just depends on the radio users location. True you might hear one certain group of users on one local tower, but if just one user from a talkgroup becomes associated with another tower as he moves you will hear all the traffic from that talkgroup on the different site.

I can't really answer for the Uniden models... You may do a search in that forum or take a look at the wiki.

I can. :lol:

The 396T, as you are aware, will only scan one CCh at a time. If you do a lot of traveling, might I suggest (because of performance issues and memory constraints) you do what I do. I have one system (I call it "LATIE Master") which has all of the CCh and Alt. CCh (system wide) in it along with the TG's that I would be interested in hearing from all over the state as I travel. What happens is, as you travel, you fall out of range of one CCh and pick up another one; thus not requiring you constantly change which system is active. I also have some separate tower systems set up for where I am when I am visiting Louisiana (LaPlace, the various NOLA area sites) and when I am in those locations, I just activate them as appropriate and those are limited to what I might want to hear on them. e.g., I don't put any mid or west state TG's on the system that is set up for LaPlace.

The database has all the frequencies for the Parks site in black. Does anyone know which frequency is the control channel?

Last time I was through there (last part of February) it was not on the air yet.

Lou, if I understand you correctly I can load all of the CCH freqs and the 396T will properly track....in other words, if I am in Lafayette and I often receive the Lafayette Tower and the Abbeville Tower then there is no need to program them as two separate systems. If there is traffic on the Lafayette Tower then it will properly track the conversation with no interference from the Abbeville Tower..........is this correct because it would dramatically reduce the amount of data I had to enter into my scanner....
