Rebanding in Michigan?

[firephotographer50]

Hey Everyone. I've noticed recently that multiple towers on the MPSCS have had their CC and voice freqs updated. Many of them seem to be shifting down in the spectrum. Does this mean that rebanding is finally taking affect in MI? If it is, what does that mean as far as programming my scanners (GRE-500/600)? I have the entire state programmed into my scanners (with the help of V-Folders) and have been updating the CC as they are changed in the database. Is this all I need to do, or is there something else I need to tweek in the programming for new trunking tables, etc?

Thanks in advance.

With the MPSCS, all you will need to do is reprogram the control channel frequencies to continue tracking the system when rebanding occurs.

Thanks Mike. That is what I thought I would need to do, but there is a button underneath the list of freqs on your program that is labeled "Rebanding" in the TSYS Object Editor window that left me scratching my head.

I'll just continue to update the CC's like I have been. Thanks again, Mike.

That allows you to adjust the frequencies easily if they are in the 866-869 range. It will just move the selected channels down the "standard" 15 MHz to their new values.
