On the Police side, I hear traffic on the old system. One of the officers is reporting that he is having radio problems and that it cuts out. He says it is not the his battery.

CERS is currently using a mixture of rebanded and non-rebanded frequencies:

851.4250 - control channel
851.5875
852.0625 - this frequency was on PWRS yesterday
867.4375
867.4625
868.1125
868.5375
868.7875

PWRS has a new control channel on 852.8625

that's the same thing i have been logging since i changed the band plan. and have picked up A-1, -A13, just fine with multiple hits on the ARC-XT Log

 

[officer_415]

I've submitted everything to the DB, just waiting for the admins to get to it.

 

[sffire]

Should I just put in the control channel only or is it better if I put the rest in?

 

[Ameriscan]

I programmed it both ways, but its picking up all of the channels just fine with the control channel only , though it wouldn't hurt anything to put them all in.

I must have done something wrong, it's been dead silence. Nothing on my XT Pro log

i took the other guys's advice, if you are using arc xt-pro. in the site browser, open the site up, click on the cers system, go to the general tab, below the control channel only tab, click on mot band plan, choose custom. then below click "edit mot bandplan" box 1 lower=851.0250 , box 2 lower=851.0125 , box 1 upper=854.0000 box2 upper =868.9875 , set steps on both to 25, box 1 offset=440, box 2 offset =0 then hit ok, just put the 851.4250 in the truck frequencies box, upload to scanner, should be it. if you have the talkgroups already imported.

I used the RR import on arc xt pro soft. to just import the control channels and the talkgroups. then i just edited the band plan and changed the control channel. works like a charm now

Nada for me either using only 851.4250

 

[officer_415]

For CERS, I programmed all of the rebanded frequencies except the ones on PWRS. That way if another rebanded control channel comes up, I won't lose the system. If you have all of the rebanded frequencies mixed together, your scanner might be looking for CERS talkgroups using the PWRS control channel, and you'll hear nothing. Just a thought...

Ben, i had to do edit the band plan as mlangeveld suggested. The info has been submitted to the DB according to him also, if its not there yet, just use the RR Import, and import the control channels like normal. and the TG's then edit the frequencies and put the new CC, and edit the band plan, my 996 is working fine now

 

[sffire]

Yes, it works!!, thanks for the tip. My scanner has come alive. Now I need to get the other uniden and the Radio Shack working.
