I live in an area where I can pick up 3 sites very well, just wondering how others set this up, all 3 sites in one bank or each site in a different bank, i am using a pro 2096 and 96 handheld. I have tried both ways and seem to miss a lot of reply coms. any suggestions?

I would put them all in the same bank.

With the 96 and 2096 they recommend that you use an FM frequency between the cc freqs like the following example.

867.500 digital
1300 FM
867.250 digital
1300 FM

If you put the secondary control channel in you wouldn't have to use the FM freq in between the primary and secondary.

I don't recall if there is an adjustment for holding the channel prior to resume scanning. If you know how to do that ad a 1 or 2 second delay to that. I'll do some looking on that part.

I took a different tact. I devided the area into four smaller areas and put each area into it's own bank. Then assigned the talk groups to their area. Should something hot go down, I can shut off the other banks and not miss too much. The same control channel may be in two or three banks as well as some talkgroups.
It works for me.

I grew up in the Copper County (in fact I was probably Hoofy's neighbor and didn't even know it), hence my screen name...

Sorry I don't have much to offer - I'm living downstate now...

Yes I am trying a few different settings, it is nice having the 2096 and 96, as i can see what actually works better, On the MPSCS banks I have unchecked the delay box and that seems to help a lot. I think that has made the biggest improvement. I am suprised at how much different traffic there is on each site, when I can pick them all up at 88 - 96 %
