Programming SDS100

[dvendt]

I would like to program the Federal Correctional Institute of Waseca, MN. It doesn't seem to be in the DB in Sentinel. How do I program it into the SDS100?

You can manually program the scanner:

If it's in the RR database, it's in Sentinel as well, unless there are no talkgroups listed for the system.

That's the issue. No TGID's.

You could monitor the system in search mode, and save any TG's you hear.

That's the issue. No TGID's.

Enable ID Search while scanning the system (func+E/Yes), this will allow you to track unknown IDs

I have found P25 NAC:1E1h to go with the freq.s in discovery mode. I have forwarded this info on to RR. I hope it helps them.

It will. Next, see if any talkgroups come up in the clear. Since this thread is state-specific to MN, perhaps it would be best to click the "Report" link and ask for it to be relocated to the MN forum? Maybe more locals can help you with trying to figure the system out?

I found 4 or 5 TGID's and did forward them on to RR. Thanks for all the help.
