Thank you, I appreciate this. So is this DIFFERENT than regular frequencies? When I do an RR import, I open the drop downs and select which ones I like. It imports frequencies. But is that the “old” way?
You need to choose Web Import from the Files Drop=down menu, then select from RadioReference)that'll be your only choice), then Trunked Systems.
Once you've logged into accessing the database, select your country, state, and county. Click the Select down arrow to see the list of trunked systems for your county. Select "(MOSWIN)"
Click on the plus
"+" sign by the Sites choice.
Scroll down through the list to locate Farrar, which is the site for your county, and check the box by it.
.
Once choosing your site, then scroll down until to see the line for Talkgroups. Select the plus sign to expand the list of talkgroup departments. Scroll down until you see Perry & select it by checking the box. You can then expend the list of Perry talkgroups by selecting the sign next to it. You'll see the talkgroups for your county and can select all of them, or only the ones you want.
Once you have picked the site(s) and talkgroups you want, the hit the Import button. That will then give you a choice of naming the system, assigning it to a scanlist, and choosing what you want the talkgroups to be named.
Once you;ve made your selections, hit "OK" to import what you've chosen, That imports the system into Win500. Note that you must select a scanlist for assigning the system, or else you will get a 'Heap Error' when trying to scan. (Don't use '00').
Go to the Object Oriented Scanners Software oage in the Wiki, Then, scroll down to the section labeled as Win500. You'll see links for a couple of online guides to using the software.
I have attached a file where I imported the site for your county, the listed talkgroups for Perry, and State Police Troop C which cover your area.
Once you get comfortable with the software, you might want to add the sites and talkgroups for the counties adjacent to yours.
