UASD396 Bug?

[safetyobc]

I was creating a new system in my UASD 396 software. It is a P25 system and under the trunk option where you enter the freqs. I entered 868.9675 and pressed enter. The software rounds the freq to 868.9687 everytime.

Any idea why? I tried adding to an already created system and it did the same thing. It also loads to the scanner with .9687. Wierd!!! This is the only freq I have noticed that it will do this with. I am loading different sites of the Arkansas State Police P25 system which has lots of system freqs. This is the only one I have noticed so far.

Edit: It also does the same thing when entering the frequencey manually on the scanner.

Not a valid frequency. Use 868.9625

868.9675 is listed in the RR database for that system.

safetyobc:
That's a voice channel - you should be entering control channels only on a P25 system.

I realize it is P25 and I can CC only but this is a brand spanking new system. My are is just now in the process of cuting over from analog to digital last week and this week. I just wanted to have all the freqs in the scanner in the event one of the freqs may be an alternate cc or may be switched for some reason to use as a cc. The entire system is kinda test as they go it seems like.

I can't figure out why the software and the scanner would accept it if it isn't a valid freq. Why round the freq?

868.9675 is listed in the RR database for that system.

It is not a 6.25 kHz step frequency so the database is wrong (imagine that). The nearest 12.5 kHz frequency is 868.9625. The nearest 6.25 kHz frequency is 868.96875. If this system is using a 6.25 kHz step channel, it is the first one I've heard of. The scanner rounds off errant entries to what it thinks is the nearest valid frequency.

Cool, thanks for the info. I submitted the question to the database to see if it was a typo.
