WSP Kitsap on SDS200

[bhoglan]

Hey all, I am so incredibly confused while trying to get WSP District 8 working in my SDS200.
I'm using Proscan and regardless of how I try to configure things I can't get anything from WSP.
A basic breakdown looks like this. This is the current iteration of what's not working but at this point it's at least scanning and not just saying nothing to scan.

Previously I had two favorites configured, one for Cencom and one for WSP. Cencom works fine but the WSP settings aren't making sense.
Can anyone help me with getting things laid out something like this:
Favorite:
- Cencom
System:
- Cencom - Conv

Favorite:
- WSP
System:
- WSP District 8 - P25 (But which flavor?)
Departments:
- Kitsap/Mason
Site?
- Bremerton - Freq 154.665
- Clallam/Jefferson
Site?
- Jefferson - Freq 154.770

I think the D80 NAC tone needs to go in here somewhere but I don't know where.

Thanks,
Brian

P25 (But which flavor?)
its non trunked so just P25 not P2
unless there is another user on same FX , NAC is not absolutely necessary unless say 154.77 had an adjacent user bleeding over into what you are hearing then you could
if it where me I would put them in a separate system so if you wanted to turn one off you can quickly
only reason nothing to scan happens is all the systems are turned off (typically) I find after programming easy to avoid
what you have here looks fine I see no issue

Yeah from that image above (and I never used Proscan for the SDS) it looks like you have it configured as a trunk system. It should be a CONV item.

WSP has its own 700 meg trunk but D80 conversations are quite limited. You're probably better off just using the VHF P25 frequency with the D80 NAC.

Ok help me understand the last two sentences.
Is the 700mhz trunk just for backhaul to the state network or should I be trying to scan that too?
Using the VHF P25 with the D80 NAC, Is the NAC similar to like CTCSS tones just to act as a squelch break or is it something more?

No, the WSP700 trunk is a trunking radio system. It's primarily used for D1/D2 activities. It supplants the old VHF system if available.

Since there limited sites available, it's not available everywhere. If D80 units happen to be within reach of the King County sites then they may show up there. The WSP radios are programmed in terms of priority --> TRUNK, VHF P25 and lastly, IWN.

Most D80 units appear only on VHF P25.

Yes a NAC is nothing more than a digital CTCSS.

Ok got it. Thanks for the background. I did manage to get WSP transmissions. I ended up rebuilding it using sentinel and I figure at some point I'll pull that into ProScan and see what it looks like as it's programmed.

Just read from the scanner into ProScan.
