Programming question

[Synchro39]

Hi

i want to program this system but only site 8 and only the control channel in red but even if i add only this frequency when signal is lost my g5 switch automatically to any control channel of any site

is there a way to program this G5 to only stay and get this frequency without switching to another control channel on another site

If your G5 is switching to other sites and you ONLY have the control channels for 1 site then you have a wildcard set up for site numbers.
Under Tab D 2 P25 Trunking System Settings, then click Site List You need to have RFSS ID Hex as 1 and Site ID Hex as 8.
My guess is you have wildcards (FF) set up there and initially its locking on to the correct site because you have the control channel listed but then it goes to wildcard after that.
Also add the alternate control channels for site 8.

To answer your question, yes. Do not use wildcards. Use only the information provided for site 8 and it will only monitor site 8.

Thanks for you help

The control channel sends out the neighboring sites frequencies so the radio / pager will stay on the system when moving around

Correct IF he has wildcards set for his sites. He is wanting to stay on Site 1-8 and not roam to other ones.
So by removing the wildcards, and setting 1-8 in his G5, he will not roam to other sites.
I monitor a system where certain cities ONLY use certain sites. So if i want to monitor City of bob fire dept, and they are assigned 1-5 i NEED to stay on site 1-5. So i have my G4 set up with multiple "systems" that are actually just individual sites in that larger system so i can make sure my G4 stays on the site the agency i am monitoring is assigned to.
Sure 1-3 might be closer but city of bob fire dept radios are set up to only use 1-5.
wild cards work for some, but not everyone.

working perfectly now
same thing i have one city using only that site and can never monitor cause my g5 was moving to a better frequency but now he stay where i want and i can listen even if i have only two bar signal
