Riscon

[Stevenme]

What is the correct system type for RISCON on a 396XT? FreeScan importing from RR sets it to Mot Type II/P25 but I have a feeling that's incorrect. Is P25 Standard (Digital XT) correct?

From my home I can't receive the control channel, it's only on occasional trips to Providence that I have the chance to listen to the system, so I have to get it right.

Assuming I get it working, what are the best TGIDs to listen in on? Thanks,

Steve,

That system should be set up as Project 25 Standard.

I drove a little south of my home location to N. Attleboro and was able to receive the North and Providence sites. It looks like there is a lot of encrypton in use on this system, but Providence PD dispatch (10001) was in the clear. I'm not so sure I would be able to hear the old dispatch on 460.100 as well as the new P25 system, so it looks like they have improved the coverage.
