What kind of band plan does it require ? I think it skips control channel frequencies.
PSERN live

- Start date
I’m still not getting anything. Trying both West King and South King. Is the system not 700 MHz ?

The system is not 700 MHz.
PSERN is for King County. WSP and some Pierce County systems use 700MHz.
I see you are in King County so I just want to make sure you are programming the correct system.
On my TRX-1, what band plan do I use ? Custom ? The “T” just blinks in the display and not a peep. I even have a specialty antenna for 700, 800 MHz.
Please excuse me if these are dumb questions
Did police/fire the frequencies move in the same way that the HDTV signals moved to the UHF band or are they on the same frequencies only in digital form?
Is the Uniden Home Patrol 2 a worthwhile buy since the change over?

I'm not familiar with the TRX-1.
I'm monitoring using Uniden and Blue Tail receivers. Uniden is selected as P25.

It's a new system with new frequencies so far. I'm not sure if the old frequencies will make it to the new system in the future.
The new system is simulcast, the HP2 may have trouble with it. The only receivers designed for simulcast are the Unication line, Uniden SDS100, SDS200, and Blue Tail Technologies.
If they encrypt the new system nothing will receive it. This is very likely to happen.
UPDATE.
Got it to work this afternoon. Just had to adjust my squelch a notch. So far all the talk groups are broadcasting in Phase 2.
Just curious, can we expect the patching (I.e. Auburn to Algona-Pacific PD) to continue on PSERN ? Never heard of status bits on P-25.
To avoid simulcast issues, simply use just one site and preferably, the closest site to you. I'm using a 325p2 and an hp486. Both sound great on King County west site. If you need to monitor elsewhere (driving around), set a favorite key with the site closest to where you are.
TRX-1 works well for P25 multicast sites (one physical tx site). It does not work well with P25 simulcast sites (one logical site with multiple physical tx sites).
P25 capable scanners do not need to have band plans programmed - the band plan info is transmitted on the control channel and should populate automatically.
HP-2 would work for P25 Phase 2 multicast sites; it would not work well for P25 simulcast sites.
Did you actually look at my post above (#35)??
It actually has the frequencies (and they are certainly NOT 700MHz).

Did some ProScan logging
The unknowns I did a TG look-up in RR
Still a couple I didn't find (a couple were listed as Sno CO, so maybe intergency TG on PSERN
Below was submitted to RR this morning.

If you're having simulcast issues, then use only one site at a time. Choose the site and it's control frequency(s) that's closest to you.
If you need to travel to another part of the county, set a different site (same system) on a knob/button position that covers the geographic area that you want covered.
Make sense?
