Programming SDS 100

[kadlf]

I wanted to add some channels to my favorites through sentinel for my sds100. What I did was use a SDR with DSD+ and plug in some hits from that. Frequencies, tg depending on what signal showed up. When I imputed in sentinel and up loaded to the scanner, the frequency would hit but would not scan. It would stick on that channel. Is there a tutorial out there that would help. At this point, my SDR donagle connected to the pc gets more action than my sds100. Any advice. Dave.

If you program a trunked control channel as conventional, you'll hang the scanner on the data stream. You can't program a trunked system as a collection of conventional frequencies and expect it to work right.

A p25 trunked system is probably already in the database anyway, so there's not much value reinventing the wheel.

Actually, when imputing into favorites, sentinel allows me to define frequency as dmr, p25, nxdn and associated tg or cc depending on type of frequency. You are correct about redundancy but I was searching new frequencies. Thank you for your reply. Dave.

I forgot to mention that the frequencies were identified by the SDR as digital.

I'm well aware of all of that. To properly program a trunked system, you have to create the correct type of system, them profram the site frequencies and talkgroups. If the scanner is hanging while scanning, you most likely didn't select the correct system type.

Ok, I will check. Thank you. Dave.
