TRX-1 Loading P25

[SLScanner]

Our State or at least Salt Lake County and ajoring towns just switch to P-25 I have a TRX-1 scanner for years with all the FM channels that worked good.
I have two sons that are Paramedics that I need to listen to but have no idea how to up load any of the new p-25 talkgroups could some body tell me where to start and tell me if we can use Radio Reference to up load them?

Thanks
Clyde

First of all, you do NOT need to delete your software, please DO NOT do that. That said...

I'm sure there are YouTube videos out there but I do not know of any. What exactly are you trying to do, I'm a little confused by the wording of the posts, are you trying to add the new P25 system or is it loaded and you just want to add talkgroups?

Either way it is not difficult and once I know what you need to do I'll try to make you a cheat-sheet with screenshots to help.

Would you know if these are the talkgroups you need?

561	231	T	SLC FD 3 Pager	Salt Lake City Fire 3/Paging	Fire Dispatch

Please keep in mind, the new Salt Lake/Statewide system is simulcast and depending where you are in relationship to the towers you may get good to no reception as the TRX-1 isn't designed to receive simulcast signals.

Zip scanners has a series of YouTube tutorial videos. Assuming your sons' agency(ies) is (are) listed in the RRDB then you'll want to do a library import via their programming app. Everything is summarized in this video. If you're seeking assistance regarding what agency operates where then that/those question(s) would be better addressed in the Utah Discussion Forum

Best wishes!

Do you need to add the system and talkgroups or just talkgroups?

Everything right now my scanner is just set up for FM channels on the trunking system. I need to install a p-25 system from the start

See if this document helps you, the frequencies used as an example are the correct ones for your tower/site. If you run into any issues feel free to mention me here or DM.

If you attach your configuration file, I can add the P25 system to what is already in your scanner. Click on Attach files and open the file.

I belive I have set everything right but my scanner will not change from Mot to p25 on the select type screen when I try to save it nothing . so when I up load what I have I believe is right the scanner says there is nothing to scan. any odeas why it won't change
Thanks Clyde

I would delete that system and start over, the FIRST thing you should do after clicking on new is change it to P25. It is possible once you add information it won't let you go back and make changes to system type.

Got everything working, just can't change the scanner from MOT to P25 it will act like it does but will not save so I am no reciving anything . But the scanner is working as it should other that that I think

Post #14 above. You have to start over and create this as a P25 system.

Your use of the word “reset” makes it sound like you are trying to change the existing system to P25. You need to ignore what you have and create a new one. First thing it should ask is system type.
