I read that and enjoyed it. I hope he uses that PSR500 to grab NAC codes!!!

WIN500 file for DC Inauguration
I uploaded a Washington DC .p500 file for WIn500 software. It's pretty packed with local and federal freqs. The fed tags need a lot of help though. This is on the Win500 group on yahoo. I made it just for inauguration day.
I've yet to use this file, but it is packed. I got plenty of freqs from here and some others from downloaded files. WMATA and other trunked systems do have the trunking tables used when necessary. I'm sure I could add plenty of other conventional fed freqs too.
If anyone knows of a program to convert a WIn500 to Excel format--please tell. I can convert to a PC/IF Bin file, but I've never used those before.
Media Freqs could probably use an update. Updated Once so far.

Win96 file for Inauguration
The original file was created by dc2wheel. I filled in any and all empty spaces with conventional fed and other freqs. It's not hugely organized, but the Fed stuff is jammed in. The new generation of scanners would be better suited for better organization. I guess I could take all the freqs I put in here, into my Pro-95 instead and carry 2 scanners. Hmmmm.
I hope the security at the parade route doesn't confiscate scanners.

I looked at both of these files. The first thing that caught my eye was the use of 5 MHz channel programming on the VHF G Band freqs. Why would someone in this day and age program 165.2375 as 165.2400? It is like that for all of the VHF stuff. 12.5 KHz steps would be correct, not 5 KHz. I have to question files that are like that.
Check out my P500 "G band" search files I posted in this forum. One is for VHF and the other UHF. I am about to post a combined file that has both VHF and UHF, but the UHF section on this new file steps 25 KHz so that it would fit (the full UHF file steps 12.5 KHz, but it takes longer). I do not hear any 12.5 KHz UHF G band except trunking stuff, so this file is the one I use all of the time.
These search files are P25 blood hounds. They rip through and snag any and all P25 transmissions. Will not stop on anything but legit P25 signals. Put Win500 in Monitor/Control mode with logging and you will document every P25 hit with a NAC as well. Killer stuff! And no bogus RF noise or hangups either...just solid P25 data. I would LOVE to see the resulting log file from the big event up there in DC. Man, that would be an eye opener! Just remember your FM Trap filter to clean up VHF and use a computer that doesn't generate EMI that would intefere with the scanner.

As mentioned earlier, we have a dedicated sticky for the Inauguration in the Washington DC forum. Please use that, as we're trying to keep from having scattered traffic for a single event splinter all over the place

I see no reference to the Wiki in the posts above.
And I do not think this is "splintered" all over the place. This is ON TOPIC and in the correct forum.
You guys need to relax a little. You take the fun out of the forums. If you want people to use the Wiki, why not post a link to it and suggest drivinflyin upload his file there? This heavy handed stuff is a turn off. :roll:

I'm just curious if anyone has monitored this. Is it P25?
385.862500
387.787500
386.012500
386.937500
388.737500
I only see one talk group 1641 for control mobiles.
