I have the scanner loaded with 3 scan lists from Radioreference.com. It appears to be scanning, and every now and then, I get white noise, but I never hear any actual voice traffic. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Thank You! I followed your instructions, and it worked like a charm!St. Clair is simulcast so that will be a problem once you program properly depending on where your at and the tower locations. Garbled audio, missed transmissions potentially.
Towers - STARCOM21 Statewide Illinois Site: St. Clair Co Simulcast
Looking at that text file, while its not a programming file, I can see you dont have any of the digital P25 system programmed, nor any talkgroups. You have all non digital(conventional) frequencies, so of course it wont work on 911 as is.
In PSREdit500 under Import, select Trunked Data. System to do is Starcom21, click Transmitter Site Selection tab, select,
St. Clair Simulcast
On the Talkgroup Selection tab, select all the St. Clair talkgroups you want. Click Import, under Scanlists click #4 since I see you used scanlists 1-3.
------------------------------
Manually:
You can look at the entire Starcam21 system at STARCOM21 Statewide Illinois Trunking System, Statewide, Multi-State
Under Trunking objects tab, put in the control frequencies, 851.225, 851.5625, 852.1625 and set the system type for P25 Auto.
Then go down ~3/4 down at the link for St. Clair county, use the column under DEC for the talkgroup #'s.
I have been to Belleville many times and use a 396XT and it gets the simulcast there quite well.

I am using PSR500 to program the scanner.
Assuming you mean "PSRedit500", there's a PDF direct from their website with an example of how to program a trunked radio systemWhere do I enter this information?
Where did you find this? I am on Radioreference, and cannot find anuthing like this. All I see is that MedStar is part of Starcom21MedStar EMS (MetroEast)

It is on STARCOM21. Scroll down close to the bottom beyond the counties. STARCOM21 Statewide Illinois Trunking System, Statewide, Multi-StateWhere did you find this? I am on Radioreference, and cannot find anuthing like this. All I see is that MedStar is part of Starcom21
Hopefully, one more question:
I was able to import the MedStar data, and I get a chirp when someone keys a mich ( or something) but I never get any modulation. It chirps, and shows MedStar, but no voices. Do I have something set incorrectly?
Oddly enough, no sooner than I posted that question, it came online and is working just fine!
That should be asked in the Uniden Tech or Illinois forums. This forum is for Whistler scanners.I just received my new SDS100 scanner. Can you give me some help on getting my Favorites working on it?
