Pro-106 + rafb

[relicwr]

anyone local got this in their 106? i have the base, offset and step right. and its on mot v/u.. are the lo and hi chans supposed to be empty? cause its not seeing the cc's but it has a T receiving data from it.

Press the MAN button while scanning on that Scan List. Press TSYS (F2 softkey), then press Analyz (F3 softkey). It will show you the CC's programmed into the scanner. You can then scroll through them by using the UP/DOWN arrows. That way, you will know that the frequencies have been programmed.
HTH,

Are you using software to program the scanner?

[relicwr]

no. butel's too expensive. plus i figure its best to do it by hand so you know how to fully use it. but everything should be correct except leaving lo and hi blank.

I put in all the channels because they rotate between the first 4 listed on RR, so I figure I just put them all in.

Do you get the % reading in the Analyze mode? Are you receiving the TGID's? If so, you have the system programmed correctly. I personally wouldn't use Arc500. Win500 is better and easier to understand.

Lo CH 380
Hi Ch 759
Offset 380
Base 406.0000
Step 12.5

 

[relicwr]

its good enough to receive, its at 99. it wont show id's still. just sits there and scans. i thought about trying a different mot mode.

 

[relicwr]

finally. thanks fmon. hi's and lo's got it.

 

[fmon]

ya beat me..

 

[relicwr]

yeah its all good now. it receives with the CC. im curious why do the hi's and lo's have to be so far apart?

 

[fmon]

380 is first DEC channel in Motorola scheme
Last DEC channel is 759 in scheme

Multi T-Tables would require subsequent LoCh and offset to be one DEC above previous table HiCh
with final HiCh at 759

i see now. i thank you both for your help. only had this 2 days and its getting easier to figure out even without software. my fingers kinda hurt from all the manual input but its all good.

It truly is tedious using scanner buttons but certainly gives cause to good scanner learning. However, with premium subscription and using Web Import with Win500, PSREdit or ARC500 software would import RAFB with T-Tables correctly set ready to load to scanner. Of course PS, SW and programming cable will cost 70 + bucks.

BTW, in previous question regarding lower and upper. If you chose 750 as HiCh vs 759 you would leave 9 possible freqs for voice transmissions unavailable. If your system had a frequency in the upper 9 range and CC sent traffic to that freq, it'll stop on talkgroup but without voice.

Always wondered what Hi/Lo channel was. Thanks for the info, Frank.
