I am a new user....... I just programmed my pro97 with the win97 sortware. After some transmissions I hear three beeps what are those for and can I get them to stop?
It is NOT the fault of the software. As a matter of fact, AVOID ScanCat(Lite) totally. It does not work well. WIN97 will work correctly.....Yes it is an EDACS trunked system... my brother has the same scanner and his doesn't do it. His has been programmed for years by the local Radio Shack. I think they use scancat lite software. I just programmed mine today win win97.
If you have the incorrect LCN then it will not trunk and you will have the beeps. I have several EDACS systems programmed and don't have that problem. Remember that the LCN will start in Ch1 not Ch0.
I think you are programming this system. It shows 10 frequencies. For EDACS, you must program ALL frequencies, not just the control channels. The frequencies are shown from LCN 01 to LCN 10, so just pick a bank, skip channel 00 and enter the TEN frequencies. Set them each to EDACS and set the BANK to EDACS.I am using WIN97 software. The freq. are the ones listed on RR. I do not know the exact ones he has other than his don't have the three beeps at the end of a voice transmission.I live in pickaway county ohio and there is like 10 different freq. but only three are control channels.
WIN97 works like the scanner. There is no prompt on the scanner to set the mode; it is something you need to at least look at to make sure it is what you want. If not, change it to what you want. If there is any button on your scanner that you do not know what it does, you should look it up in the manual or the Wiki.Ok that did the trick.....It is a little confusing locating the drop down menu but once you find it......simple.
I think the whole WIN97 program is like that.....a little confusing at first but once you figure it out it is very simple.
You are welcome. I suspect you are currently running the bank with that EDACS system in OPEN mode. That means you are hearing everything. If you want to "limit" what you are hearing, the next step is programming TG IDs. Whether the bank is open or closed, you'll need the TG IDs programmed before you'll have a place to put the alpha tags (and make them display).Now for the alpha tags.... should I post that hear or somewhere else? Also Thanks a million for your help gmclam!

In the same bank that you have programmed the EDACS frequencies, program the TG IDs. They are grouped in 5 "sub-groups" of 30 each (numbered 0-00 to 0-29, 1-00 to 1-29, ... 4-29).That is correect I hear everything buses, city cabs,snow plows etc......... could you explain the TG ID programming?
In Win97 type in the system name (up to 14 characters) next to each frequency. During comms, line 2 display will indicate the frequency plus it's LCNGM, I think I figured that much out(been searching threads for hours)......do I need to enter alpha tags for the channel frequencies? If so where would I find the proper tag? All I see in the database are the frequency numbers.
Also do I need to enter ALL the talk group ids and lockout the ones I don't want to hear or just enter the ones I WANT to hear?

The "official name" is system (or site) name. Again keep within 14 characters so the last two are LCN numbers.Do I just type in whatever I want or is there an "official" tag for it? Similar to what is listed in the talk group id chart for my county.
