Hello All!
As a 13 year member [and a very grateful one!] of this RR website, I haven't had a lot of reason to post. Simply because my old 895 XLT performed flawlessly up until recently. Purchased this gently used Uniden in July to replace it. A major learning curve ensued that has been very intimidating for me since!
I am using a Dell Inspirion 1720 laptop/Vista with the Freescan software as my platform. Here is what I want to accomplish...with your help.
Monitor one law enforcement and all fire agencies in San Diego County and SoCal. I'm as far as System/Sites/Groups...that's it. No frequencies input yet. Eventually, I will use the RR database to accomplish this, but I want to learn how these new scanners work and operate.
The attached "snip" will give you the idea of what I've done. With so little accomplished, I'm unsure if I've done that correctly.
Do I need to remove the "Sheriff" from the San Diego County "trunked system" and set it up as separate system? I ask because I see no provision for P-25 in the trunked "site type" menu for it.
Do each of the other "trunked" agencies require a "new site" in their programming?
If these questions are redundant, please forgive the repetition.
Many thanks for taking the time to respond!
