Okmulgee Mototrbo

[HogDriver]

Has anyone programmed the Okmulgee Mototrbo system in Sentinal yet? Have you figured out the LCN's for all the frequencies? It's a pretty big system with lots of different users on the same freqs.

I guess not. Once the trbo stuff gets smoothed out and it's easier to monitor I'd like to pick it up. Henryetta and Okmulgee use to be a couple of my favorites, along with the Light Horsemen. They came in full quite at my place in McAlester.

I guess there is software out there that figures out talkgroups and so forth. Monitoring the frequency will give you color codes and slots. I haven't had any luck trying to figure out the LCN's of a local system where I'm at, so that's not working either. I'm not even sure what freqs make up all of the Mototrbo system. It's not helping that this system is apparently not licensed!

I'm pretty sure Okmulgee county is all non-trunked and several DMR conventional channels. I haven't seen any indication of a rest channel or CC from any of the frequencies.

So how are you programming Henryetta or Morris? Programming as DMR does not allow you to put in a slot as putting it in as a Mototrbo would. The only way you can differentiate the two is to be able to program the TG, in which case you have to know the LCN's for that system.

So I guess for now, all you can do is look at what the slot is to know who's talking if you can't figure it out by what they're saying.

Using Uniden's Sentinal (not sure about Whistler) I just made DMR one Frequency systems for it. That doesn't need slots or LCNs and can add TG names for the frequency.

So then I would put in 151.475 as Morris Police and Fire Dispatch since they share the same CC and there no other way to differentiate the two dispatches when programming as a OneFreq system.

I guess what I'm getting at is, if Okmulgee County is a Mototrbo system and Sentinal is able to accept Mototrbo, then why can't we make it work like it's supposed to!

Add the talkgroups to the department. 1100 would be PD dispatch and 1101 would be FD dispatch.

I would like for someone who lives near there to actually program it as a Mototrbo system and find out if it works like it's supposed to. I have 2 systems near me that are Mototrbo and are NOT working correctly. I am able to pick them up if I program as individual frequencies and channels. I'm speaking of Newcastle in McClain Co and El Reno in Canadian Co.

I have it programmed as DMR one frequency and it works good. I pass through there all the time for work.

DMR One Freq does not accept talkgroups.

DMR One Freq does not accept talkgroups.

Sure it does. It's the only reason to use that mode instead of Conventional (for a DMR channel). Conventional lets you see CC and Slot. Put those in a One Freq Trunk and then you can use talkgroups to separate comms.

Are you talking about the P25 One Frequency Trunk as opposed to the DMR One Frequency?

We're talking about DMR so yeah, DMR One Freq. Edit Department -> Edit Channel -> Input TGID.

Mototrbo

So can anyone tell my how to use Sentinel to program and listen to Mototrbo systems?
