Split DEC's

[scannerprogrammingofLvKs]

On my WS 1040 i want to add KHP Group B from Topeka Ks & there are 44 frequency's & 2- DEC channel's & my scanner will only hold 32 frequencies per scan list / how do i slit up the frequencies on 2 different scan list?

Are you talking about the limit of 32 frequencies in the frequency list for the KSICS trunked system? If so, you only need to enter the red control channel capable frequencies for each site. If Multi-Site is set to Roam, the scanner will find a site with a good signal and stay there. If Multi-Site is set to Stationary, the scanner will scan every site whose control channel frequencies are in the frequency list.

The 44 frequencies are the CC's

How many sites are you trying to scan?

I want to program the Topeka Ks KHP group B, BUT there are 44 CC frequencies & the scan list only allows 32 frequencies per list, my question is how do I split the 2 DEC's to use 2 scan lists ?

i will guess the CC's for
Nemaha, Brown, Doniphan, Atchison, Jefferson, Douglas, Franklin, Osage, Shawnee, Jackson, Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee Counties
and i get 45 total CC's
you might want to cut some out. like the ones you can't hear.

For Leavenworth and all of the surrounding counties, I see a total of 18 control channel capable frequencies on the KSICS system.

Atchison-4
Douglas-6
Jefferson-2
Johnson-2
Leavenworth-2
Wyandotte-2

It is not necessary to scan 44 cc frequencies to cover the Topeka KHP Group B. You should only need the site(s) that is closest to you.

I want to thank everyone for their input on my question.

In the database, the Topeka site in Shawnee County shows that its coverage area is nowhere close to Leavenworth. I doubt that you can receive it from your location.

Most people work around this limitation by excluding a few of the control frequencies to fit in the 32 frequency limit.

To proceed with splitting the control frequencies into multiple groups of sites, see "Planning Systems and Scan Lists" in the WS1040 Easier-to-Read manual.

Multi-Site Systems​

Some Motorola and EDACS systems covering a very large geographic area use multiple antenna sites that each operate on different frequencies and use the same talkgroup IDs for traffic. You can program up to 32 frequencies for each trunking system (all you need are the control channel frequencies) but if you have more than 32 frequencies for a system (such as large multi-site system), you will have to split it into separate sites (or groups of sites) and duplicate the IDs for each site (or group of sites). Each talkgroup object can be assigned to one or more scan lists but only assigned to one trunking system or site. That's when the software comes in handy. This method fixes the 32 control channel limit per system but also defeats the Multi-site 'Roaming' functionality. Each TGRP object can be assigned to multiple Scan Lists but only to one trunking system. But, you are really only able to monitor sites within about a 30 mile radius and that usually wouldn't be more than 15-20 sites or 32 control channels anyway. Splitting your big system up will also allow you to tag the smaller groups (or sites) as the scanner only displays tags for systems and not sites.​
