Programming LMRN into a BCD 436HP

[jasoyeom]

Forgive me for asking but how do I program in the LMRN into my 436HP? Do I just add a P25 with TDMA system and add the frequencies?

 

[ve3tej]

Just use the Sentinel software and add the system

If you get stuck DM me and I'll walk you through it.

I have it downloaded and scanning but I'm not getting any hits or traffic. I would expect to get something and see some radio id's at least.

 

[gary123]

Sit on the encrypted TG. The scanner will normally ignore encrypted TG activity.

 

[jasoyeom]

I must be doing something wrong. I'm sitting on SImcoe AMB TG and I'm not getting any id's.

A lot of people have had trouble programming the LMRN to even have audio on MTO. I can see the activity on 436 and 325 as well as the sds100.

I've pretty much given up on scanning lately. Why do anything to monitor a system when you won't hear anything?

I understand some of us want to figure out the RID's and new talkgroups and use software to confirm and figure it out. It's a sad consolation prize

I used the sentinel software, and it programed my Uniden 436 perfect

I am using a 536 and it's scanning the system fine. Pay attention to post 5. If your truly stuck I can screen capture the system parameters I am using. My general editing go to is Butel but I can capture the codeplug from Sentinel.

I programmed LMRN via Sentinel and it seems to scan ok but not getting any radio id's when I sit on the Simcoe AMB TG.

It sounds like you are scanning and receiving transmissions on the Simcoe AMB talkgroup successfully, but you are not seeing radio id's on the display? If this is the case, have you enabled Unit ID Display Mode? This setting is required to display the Unit ID (Radio ID).

On the 536HP:

Menu -> Display Options -> Display. Unit ID -> On​

​

This setting should also available in sentinel in the Display Options of the profile editor.

And to confirm - you are getting hits and receiving transmissions on the Simcoe AMB talkgroup?

Not receiving anything on the SImcoe AMB talkgroup since it's encrypted.

The 436 will auto mute the encrypted transmissions. It will also not switch to the voice frequencies. If you want to follow the RID's etc then you have to 'hold' on the TG. If you do that, it will switch to the voice frequencies and display the RID's. The scanner will still remain muted.

 

[jasoyeom]

When scanning I can hear the encrypted audio sometimes.

 

[gary123]

Sometimes it takes the scanner a second to detect the encryption flag..

I got a message from a tow guy I know telling me that there were switchovers to LMRN. I turned on both 436 and SDS100 and low and behold I am now hearing the MTO Patrols working and audible

I didn't make any changes, I didn't have UNITRUNKER working either.

Now the LMRN control channel for Hamilton is 142.350, just like FleetNet .
If it works don't break it I guess. Strange.....stuff

When scanning I can hear the encrypted audio sometimes.

Me 2, only on the 436, every now and then, the MOH and a few talkgroups that look like the OPP

I have my 536 configured with some User Ids. this gives me a little more info on who is talking even though we cannot hear them.
