PSERN Programing Question

[JimClark]

Trying to program a BCD325P2 Scanner. I want to take the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network (PSERN) and only pick and choose which groups I want to listen to. I would like to be able to assign a quick key to each group so I could just listen to say Seattle police or Seattle Fire if I wanted to. I was wondering if I could get some info on how to go about picking and choosing only a few of the groups on the PSERN to get the information the scanner needs to work properly. I am using ARC XT software. I am located in West Seattle and I just want to concentrate on the Seattle area and some of King County as I am close to the City limits.
Thanks in advance
Jim

From West Seattle you will probably optimally hear the West and South King sites. You could try the 'main' Seattle/Eastside site as it carries the most traffic so if reception is OK monitor it. To get set up, minimally, you'll need the system (P25 Standard) and to load of the frequencies for at least 1 site, though as I said, where you are I'd probably scan both West and South King. Then set quick keys for each of your groups (Click on the group and at the top of the grid next to the group name, you can assign the quick key) That should probably get you started.

You can also assign a different system quick key to each of the 8 sites to be able to easily select the site or sites you wish to scan. Here is a PDF file which will answer all of your questions about using quick keys:
