The "official name" is system (or site) name. Again keep within 14 characters so the last two are LCN numbers.

Forgive me but I'm not understanding this. I live in pickaway county ohio. The town of circleville. Could you give me an example of what I should be using? here are the frequecies from RR: 01 866.03750c 02 866.31250c 03 866.65000 04 867.06250 05 867.62500 06 868.56250c 07 868.87500
08 867.26250 09 868.63750 10 868.92500

Keep in mind that a "text tag" is just a NAME. Just like your name. There are no "rules". You could call a channel Fred, or George, or whatever you want.

Because some of my scanners only have 12 character text fields, I adopted using single letters to identify each frequency. So I used 10 characters to identify my city or county, a space, and the single letter.

However, if all my scanners could display 16 characters or more, I'd get more creative with how I'd have them labeled. If the SYSTEM you are monitoring has only ONE "site", then just label them with a number. If there are less than 11 frequencies, you could label then 0 to 9. Heck you could handle up to 36 frequencies by using digits and letters.

Since you seem to want someone to tell you what to name stuff, how about "PICKAWAY 01" through "PICKAWAY 10"? Note that I use all UPPER case because it is easier to read. The reality is that most people pay little attention to the text tag of a trunked frequency - most are only interested in the alpha tag for the TG.

Win97 already has LCN numbers 00 through 99 so he only needs to edit in Packaway CO in 01 through 10 leaving in the LCN's.
Code:
Packaway CO   01	 866.037500	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   02	 866.312500	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   03	 866.650000	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   04	 867.062500	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   05	 867.625000	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   06	 868.562500	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   07	 868.875000	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   08	 867.262500	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   09	 868.637500	EDACS	  0.0	 	 	 
Packaway CO   10	 868.925000	EDACS	  0.0
Using Web Import one can type in Packaway CO in the *type in description* box which generated the above ready to load to scanner.

In user's case edit in Packaway CO as above.

WIN97 doesn't "already" have anything. I see you have a premium membership, and perhaps you "imported" the data. He does not currently have that ability.

Note last sentence, I was aware user did not have RR premium.

Openg any new template in Win97. You will find in all 10 banks a listing from 00 through 99. These are in fact LCN numbers I pointed out my example was using Web Import and how user could simply type in the county next to the number.

OK thanks for all the help...... I have succeeded in programming my pro97 to the counties EDACS system. I went through and closed the bank and entered all the TG ids I wanted to hear thus eliminating the buses and cabs etc....What is a premium membership?


Gmclam agian thanks so much for all your help and info I understand how the EDACS system works now....and the WIN97 program. It really is simple after you start to understand it. Again Thank you!
