Glad the 853.2625 signal isn't just me. What I don't understand is this: if the control channel is telling my scanner that Wake Forest PD dispatch (as an example) is currently on 853.2625, and my scanner opens up 853.2625 to hear that digital noise, then where is Wake Forest PD dispatch REALLY at that moment? It's not always the same talkgroup that my scanner stops on 853.2625 for. It could be any talkgroup I'm monitoring for.

Folks: The 853.2625Mhz situation should be resolved by now.
Wireless Comms was doing some testing yesterday with a constant carrier on that specific
frequency.
As far as I know everything should be resolved by this AM.
Let us know if you are still having issues.
Thanks

You are correct but there was no end code that I could tell and the frequency was holding an open carrier which means the scanners would stay on it.
The 853.2625 issue has been fixed for me, too. I still would love a technical explanation about how my scanner was being told to open that frequency, while VIPER radios weren't. Was the control channel really telling my scanner a talkgroup was on that frequency, or were our scanners misunderstanding some special command from the control channel?
Thank you very much Marshall for the info on updating custom tables for Wake. I think a couple of other counties I monitor on occasion have rebanded as well. I got the new CCs from the database, but wasn't certain if the same custom table settings you provided here would apply to those systems as well (in particular, looking at Beaufort and Nash counties). Is the custom table info for lines one and two the same across the board for all VIPER systems?
The above should work for all VIPER sites.
I can't guarantee it will work with non-VIPER radio systems but it can't hurt
to give it a try.

I will ask our Motorola Gurus the next time they are in our shop.
They should be able to provide an answer (even if it is something to the effect
of what you guessed above: simply an OSW misunderstanding or wrong handling
of OSW that subscriber radios don't see).
I will catch up with you soon and let you know what I find out.

I hadn't looked at my programming for years, so this was really a crapshoot. I did finally figure it out, and I'm back online. It isn't that hard, it just seems intimidating if you don't spend much time in FreeScan. Thanks for the instructions.
I apologize about not being able to reply to your PM sooner as I have been under the weather this weekend but I am glad you were able to get yourself back up and running

PSR-800 in Wake County
My trusty PSR-800 has gone deaf after re banding. I'm having a bear of a time trying to enter a custom table, it appears to use channel numbers instead of the actual tx/rx. Has anyone else had luck with the psr-800 in Wake Co. ??? Thanks, Jim KF4COP.

Hey Jim:
From our handy-dandy RR Wiki:
The "Set Reband" button should fill in everything for you.
Hope this helps!

Does any one know what TG: 43216 is? Its not in the database I heard what sounded like FD traffic on it this morning.
Let me verify but I believe that is a Johnston County FD Mutual Aid TG.

Yes, it is the same one. If you were scanning C-3 Dispatch before, it should still work.
