BCD325P2/BCD996P2: Programming two different P25 systems

[N9RYM]

I have two P25 systems I want to I want to program together as one system along with their channels and talk groups. The only difference is the System ID's in RR are different. For example: In System/Site 1 on the scanner, I want to program three counties using their channels and talk group, but one county has it's own System ID and the other two have theirs. Or do I need to create separate System/Site for each? Currently I'm not receiving anything from "S1" so I'm trying to rule out a P25 conflict issue or a signal strength.

Indiana - Allen County: County owned, System ID: 597
All other counties: Indiana SAFE-T, System ID: 68D

Both are Phase 1/APCO 25, just the System ID's are different.

What radio are you programming?

You don't tell us what scanner, that makes a difference in how it is done, but you program each system/site in separately, not all together, and assign scan locations to them. Tell us your scanner and we can help more.

FWIW the OP mentions a Pro-96 in their first post so I'd assume this unless OP states otherwise. Been eons since I've owned one so I'm rusty

 

[RoninJoliet]

If its a PRO96 you can only put one trunk system in per bank.....

 

[N9RYM]

Sorry! I have a 996P2. Thanks for the replies. I wasn't sure if I could combine both P25 systems since they're both the same except different System ID's. I'll work on creating two separate systems.

 

[RoninJoliet]

If the system uses the same TGs but different frequencies you can create a second "Site" on the same system ,....

 

[N9RYM]

So, under one system I'm listening to three counties (A, B, C). Your recommending:
.System
. Site A
. TG A
. TG A
. Site B
. TG B
. Site C
. TG C

Yup
