Ok so I have read everything I could find on mapping out the correct LCN for LTR systems and I still think I am missing something. Do I even need to worry about it on the 996xt? Do I need the correct LCN? Do I need only the home channels?
Here is what I have done
Setup a new system as LTR LCN Search
Setup 20 Site frequencies as LCN X (where x is 1-20)
added the fixed base frequencies I found in the FCC database for a callsign which was listed as trunking and I know is LTR standard. Lets say the frequencies are 461.1 461.2 461.3 461.4 461.5
So LCN 1 has all 5 channle frequencies 461.1 461.2 ... set as LCN 1 I could do this through software not directly on the scanner.
I know or am pretty confident that 461.1 is LCN 1 and I get talkgroups A-HH-GGG as 01-01-XXX
LCN 2 has all five as LCN 2 etc down to 20
I was under the impression that if frequency 461.3 is say LCN 9 that if there was transmission the scanner would stop on site frequency LCN 9 and display the channel frequency 461.3?
What has happened is that I get transmission on LCN 1 as 461.1 and talkgroup 01-01-002 which makes sense if it is LCN 1. The only other transmissions I have recieved so far are on LCN 4 and LCN 7 and they stp and show frequency 461.1? and the talkgroups match the lcn ie on LCN 4 channel 461.1 I get talkgorup 01-04-002 and LCN 7 channel 461.1 I get talkgroup 01-07-002.
The transmissions on those sound the same as 0-01-002 as far as I can tell they seem like the same group talking.
I have read that this could be the busy/goto? But would it then not be on a different channel frequency as 461.1 could not be multiple LCN's?
Am I misunderstanding mapping an LTR system I did read all the threads and wiki?
