pro-96 help

[dirtfinder]

I recently bought a pro-96 and am tring to figure out how to set the ID talk group for the Colorado DTRS trunking system. I read through the forums and have even looked at several Win96 file to see if I were doing it right. After I load all the freq. and ID's I func. trunk to access the trunk ID bank and push scan and nothing is there after awhile I will turn off trunking and start to pick up the local prison and several others like CSP. Why is it when the trunking is on I dont hear anything and when off I get the normal chatter? Please help me figure it out

Are you sure you have the bank as well as each channel set to the correct trunking mode?

 

[dirtfinder]

You mean like mot or edacs?

 

[KE5BCP]

Yes.. for EACH channel as well as the bank.

 

[dirtfinder]

Yeah I have mot set in the bank an as well as the ID bank

 

[dirtfinder]

In win96 do set Mot 3600 to normal and Mot 9600 to normal

 

[seamusg]

Yeah I have mot set in the bank an as well as the ID bank

You must also set each freq to MOT or EDACS depending on the system type.

The Scanner is always in trunking mode if set up correctly for trunking.

This pic is a sample of the CC's for three DTRS Sites with Arapahoe CO sample TG's. Note both 3600 & 9600 are unchanged because they are used only with VHF and UHF 400/500 & some splinter 800 Mot systems.

Have you considered gettting a cable and Win96?

I did and it changed my scanning-life.

Re-reading your 1st post in this thread I suspect you may have Win96. Please Confirm or deny that you have it...

Yeah I have purchased win96 and have a cable from GRE. I have been playing around with it since I posted and am starting to figure it out I THINK

 

[VintageJon]

Would you like me to send you the folder for my latest Austin/Travis Co. load? While this is for Texas it may let you compare to what you have in there and find the problem...

Without Win96 the cable may not help much. (It's win96,Cable, and RR Database here that made it work...)

Email is muse@texas.net if it's not available on this site...
