I was just wondering the data base says it's DMR Tier 3 with frequencies in the 217.xxxx mhz range but in my 536HP the database enters them as 800 MHz. Am I doing something wrong?

It was imported by RR data base and it was entered as 800 MHZ system and not the 217 MHZ system I am sure of that. I pick them up on the 217 system on close call but not when I hold it on the system on my 536

Are you using Sentinel? Because earlier there were problems with getting this new system from the RR database, I programmed it manually. However, I just updated the Master Database and then put the REC system into a Favorites List. It's showing the system as MotoTRBO Trunk. I'm not seeing anything about 800 Mhz. The individual frequencies are the 217 mhz frequencies.

Ok thank you I will try to update on Monday when I get back to my laptop but yes it is from the sentinel and I am not to good at programming stuff direct into my scanner. Especially since I am an over the road truck driver so I don't do favorites anyway.

Well, I can't confirm at this point that the Sentinel programming actually works for this system. I've been listening to both my manual programming and what I downloaded from Sentinel this afternoon, and only caught transmissions with my manual programming. I will try to listen more tomorrow and run the Sentinel programming side-by-side with my WS-1080, which receives the system well. I know there is some quirkiness on Uniden scanners related to the LCNs for DMR trunking systems.

There is another thread on this system: Rappahannock Electric Cooperative

With both my manual programming and the download from RadioReference in my Uniden SDS-100, I'm only getting a fraction of the transmissions that my Whistler WS-1080 receives. I think the WS-1080 is near 100% on this system. I'm wondering if anybody is having any better luck with their Uniden scanners receiving the Fredericksburg site.

The way I post pictures from my Windows system is to do a ctrl-alt-print screen, paste into Microsoft Paint, crop the picture if needed to leave only what is relevant, save the result as a .png or .jpg, and upload the file. I've not run into any size limitations that way.
