unitrunker site find problem....

[Caesar]

i am using unitrunker, i think the 2nd beta, but it will not reconize when i switch the data freq on my radio from one cell/site to another, i mean it realizes the new frequencies and sees the new talkgroups, but it still says site 0 at the top, i took it out of the file, but it found it agian, i found the other 12 cells in my area and i labeled them, but it always thinks that it is on site 0 ... thx for any help...

ps- i am using a disc tap on the radio with the sound card input , the system is a Moto II/hybrid 800 mhz trunked...

When the program first starts - it does not know what site you are actually monitoring. It has to wait for the relevant messages to appear. Some messages explicitly indicate the site identity - others strongly imply site identity. Until the program has ID'd the site, the program will display 0 as the site number.

If your decoding rate is low ... it may take a while for this to happen.

If you jump from one site to another while decoding mid-stream - you risk polluting the current site's channel information with channels from the new site. If one of those channels happens to be the control channel - then you've got a small mess to clean up.

Easy solution is either (1) delete all sites (you won't lose any talkgroup information) or (2) at the very least delete any duplicate channels. Going forward, always exit the program before tuning your radio to another system (or another site on the same system). The program tries to keep everything straight but there are a number of ambiguous situations caused by abruptly switching control channels.

ok, sounds like switching systems might be my problem, hopefully, i will try agian tonite, b/c decode rate is 100% and i've run it over 48 hours, but i probably switched to early,thanks guy!!

and great program!!! ;-)

butyou know that already, hehe
