BCD325P2/BCD996P2: PROGRAMMING HELP

[dcmojo17]

Hello all I need some help programming my BCD325P2, I’m stuck on what group this needs to be programmed under if it would be conventional or under a P25 trunk

 

[K9KLC]

Those are conventional. Some are listed as P-25 and others as narrow FM.

 

[dcmojo17]

Thank you so I need to leave them in under a conventional system then

Not familiar with that radio but if its has the ability to program conventional p25 as p25 one freq, like bcdx36 & sdsx00 can do, go that route. If not, program as conventional.

 

[dcmojo17]

Also I can hear this Law Enforcement channel but none of the fire

Welcome to the RR forums. Utilize a perk of your RR premium subscription and program using Proscan (30 days free, fully functional trial then $50.00 for two activations). Simply choose the objects you want to import utilizing the RR web import service then write them to your scanner. Pages 23 to 25 of the Proscan manual tells you more. That way you need not worry about making programming errors

Please post the link to the data instead of camera screenshots.

here is the link to the database i have setup

 

[dave3825]

I would program the P25 as one trunk if you want to see each radio id when they transmit. Otherwise just program conventionally.

I’m not as worried about the Id’s as much just trying to receive them. Like I said prior I can hear the law enforcement channel clear as day programmed conventionally but I can’t hear any of the fire programmed the same way. The law enforcement tower is also farther away which doesn’t make any sense

 

[dave3825]

Which fire don't you hear? the p25? Possible they moved somewhere else?

Maybe search NY forum for Chemung county or Chemung fire.

Do a search for Chemung fire in the db here RRDB | FCC Data | Query

Also try the freqs without the nac

 

[dcmojo17]

So do the nac on search

 

[dave3825]

Search of off. Nac allows multiple agencies to use same freq without interfering with each other. Only needed if your in range of another entity that uses the freq.

 

[dcmojo17]

No interference within my area. I’m just completely lost. I consider my self a pretty tech savvy guy but this is getting the best of me

 

[dcmojo17]

I know it’s not a range issue if I can hear the P25 law enforcement channel clear. It’s gotta be something that I don’t have right even though the database was imported straight from RadioRefrence

 

[dcmojo17]

This is what’s coming in clear. Hear only this no Fire Frequencies
