P25 tsa

[Unadan]

Just want to make sure I'm programming this correctly. Via freescan I set up a new "P25 standard" system for TSA with just one single frequency (172.1500) with no talk groups. I don't see any TGIDs in the RR database. Is this correct?

TSA doesn't use a trunked system, thus no TGIDs. Program it as a conventional digital frequency. Keep in mind that TSA is encrypted in some locales.

Thanks - is it conventional or P25? The radio reference database lists it as P25 mode.

This is the same deal with federal protective service in portland. I have one 400 mhz frequency that RR lists as P25 so I set up a new P25 system in Freescan to handle it and just add the single frequency. Or is this a conventional system?

Yes they are conventional frequencies, NOT Trunked. However with the Uniden XT series of scanners you can also program them as a single channel P-25 system to see the individual radio ID numbers.
P-25 is just another mode of transmission such as AM, FM etc., P-25 is a digital mode.

Thanks - I'm programming the freqs into my 396XT. Great radio btw.
