Hi,
Totally new to programming radios. Someone gave me a BCD996P2. I'm in the Indianapolis, IN area. I've read through various references and forum questions on this website, and have managed to install FreeScan and program some easy AM channels (e.g. Indy Airport communications, and CB frequencies).
I am now trying to program the public safety system. I managed to add a P25 standard system. I added a site with the trunk frequencies from site 001 here . I added the red first, and then the 3 blue ones. I also added a TGID group with TGIDs 1 (dispatch), 2 (car-to-car), and 3 (special), but I think this is wrong. Anyway, it does scan through IDs and picks stuff up. I have two questions.
1) Should I add the blue frequencies from the database, or even the gray ones, or just ignore that? Do I need to add a "APCO band plan" frequency?
2) Is the TGID actually the "DEC" code in the talk group sections of the database?
Thanks!
