Problem with Control Channel Only OC CCCS

[bigmattyl]

Here's my setups...

I have:

BC245XLT
BC780XLT
BC796D

With the CountyWide cell

I have the BC245 programmed by having all freqs in the back, BC780 CCO Plan 1 and BC796 CCO Plan 1 and everything works great.. when i run them all at the same time they all pick up the same stuff perfect...

My problem comes with South and North cells

The 245 works fine with all the Freqs in the bank, and BOTH the 796 and 780 programmed CCO Plan 3 dont work... the 245 will catch the transmission while the other two stay on ID search... (Also the Trunk IDs are the same in all three)

Now if I change the programming in the 796 or 780 to the old method of putting all the freqs in.. they work just fine... I dont think its the scanners because the odds of them both being broken in the same way are small...

For Reference here is the freq for south

[size=-1]
866.12500 866.17500 866.37500 866.62500 866.87500 867.12500 867.37500 867.62500 867.82500 867.87500 868.12500 868.37500 868.62500c 868.67500 868.92500

and here is the descriptions for the plans....

• PLAN 1: if the last three digits of ALL the frequencies in use end in one of the following three digits: 125, 375, 625, or 875 (example: 856.1125, 860.7375, 859.6625, 855.8875).
  
• PLAN 2: If ALL the frequencies are less than 869.0000 and end in one of the following three digits (125, 375, 625, or 875) and if ANY other frequencies end in (000, 250, 500, or 750)
  
• PLAN 3: If the last three digits of ALL the frequencies in use end in one of the following three digits (000, 250, 500, or 750)
  
• PLAN 4: If ALL the frequencies are less than 866.0000 and end in one of the following three digits (000, 250, 500, or 750) and if ANY other frequencies end in (125, 375, 625, or 875)

Northi is very similar... What am i missing???

Thanks so much for any help! =)

Control Channel only program is a great option for scanners that are nearing capacity for frequencies and talkgroups.

Whenever possible I enter all of the frequencies for trunked systems that I monitor. In addition to not having to figure some of these band plan issues, I don't have to be concerned about changing control channels. So if you got the space in your scanner, you might consider adding all of the associated frequencies and not have to figure this out.

I have a 780, using "CC only" mode for central, south and north. It works fine using plan 1 for central and plan 2 for the south and north cells. See how that works for you.

ill give plan two a shot, thanks.

seems like it should be three though right?

Uniden's descriptions assume 4 digits after the decimal point, because that's as many as were used on these types of systems when they first came into existence. The database description includes 5 decimal places. One could, for example, list all the frequencies with 7 digits after the decimal point, but that wouldn't suddenly mean that the all the frequencies ended in 000 just because they were listed with more decimal places.

yeah, i assumed that as well..they were all 250 500 750 000 and so i thought three, looks like plan 2 is working for me as well :shrug: i appreciate the suggestion! =)

It was so long ago, I don't remember how I came up with plan 2. I might have just been experimenting. Glad it works for you, in any case.
