Just curious, can the 396 custom tables (multi tables) be programmed via the key pad or does it need the program, I guess the Arc, to get them in correctly like the pro-96 does?

Yes it can, go into menu on the side of your unit, Push your knob down on Program System, turn knob to your system then push down, turn your knob to Edit Sys, Option push down, turn your knob to Edit Band Plan then you have a slot from 0 - F to set the tables Plan 0 - F select the band or add to which one you want and enter the freq. when you enter from there it will ask for the spacing, you will enter on that.
Hope this will help.

Thanks mike without sounding dumb i set up my p96 with the Win96 software and then loading what the RR Database has for the NM system. im very new to the digital thing.
if it helps i get other systems fine. thanks again gang.

No problem. I don't have a Pro-96 or Pro-2096 so I'm no help in that area. General questions I maybe able to answer. I would check out Bruce's postings around maybe page 10 or so of this thread. His posting are where the custom tables for the RS model scanners came from for this system in the database.
I haven't heard from him in a long time. Last I heard from him, he moved to Washington state.

It might be more general than I initially thought. From a review of my database, it looks like all of the xx9xx talkgroups (through 079xx, at least) are related to mutual aid.

Thanks to all for the information.
I wonder if the area's that got their tower up less then 100 watts will be the 1st to get additional tower to help fill in the area that do not get the signal. Looking in FCC most sites have 100 watts but Ghent is 10w, Kopperston 14w, McComas 53w, and I'm thinking Jefferson was less then 100w. I do know that for the distance that I live at I would think I could pickup the signal better but if it is that low, I guess I'm getting what I can get.
What kind of ranges are the people up north getting with theirs. Here with Ghent 16 miles north in Beckley, my scanner pickup mostly 1 or 2 bars on the scanner but when in downtown nothing.

Anybody else catch Division of Threat Preparedness on 9948 today in Chucktown? Discussing such important matters as labeling boxes and getting a count for lunch.
Yeah, I heard them too. Didin't know who it was, but I was impressed with the sense of urgency.... 
Heard Smithers and Montgomery yesterday testing with WVU Tech security (well, trying to, anyway) on 6170. Also heard station 5 (Belle) testing on 6140.

I was looking thru my program on my 396 unit, well after a beta program messed it up. I was wondering about the band plan setting that my scanner already had. In a previous posting it was asked if you can program one in. But when I started by hand I was looking at it and it was blank. So I had the unit held on the cc freq. for about a min. and then went to check it again and there was the info. So, I did not know this unit would find this and placed them in. I thought I would share this with the other's in the group. I know in the past for the RS unit their was several tables to try out. Anyway this is what it reads.
MHZ / STEP
0. 851.00625 / 6.25
1. 762.00625 / 6.25
2. 453.02500 / 12.5
3. 450.00000 / 6.25
I don't see in the database for 0 and 1 for any of the radio. Is it possible that some traffic is getting left out from not having all the tables?

I don't have a 396 but I don't think tables are required for p25 systems.JESSERABBIT said:
ARC396 import doesn't import or list a place for tables for WV Inop p25, but when importing a smartnet/zone system it does. P25 STARS doesn't offer tables on import either.
Incidentally, when importing WV Inop to the 796 using ARC250, the tables are ignored and the Type setting is changed from Unknown to Motorola 2 800. However, importing VHF/UHF smartnet/zone, the tables set correctly. This leads me to believe the 296/796 cannot correctly trunktrack WV Inop.
You're right - for the 396 and 996, P25 systems don't need custom tables.
On another note - anyone hear the kids playing with the Interop radios on 9948 today??? (Sunday). Ahh, your tax dollars at work!!!

You are correct, it doesn't require it. It seems that the 396 is able to get it's own table from the control channel and place them in itself. This was just an observation. Most of my programming with the scanner is done by hand. When setting up the mot-P25 or to the arc program mot-apco25 at any point I never added the tables in for the system.
I was wondering for the unit's that do have to have custom table to work if they should had include the 700 and 800 Mhz band in their tables?

Forgot to post this earlier... Burnsville tower is #0113. C/C is 453.075.
I was in the truck for a good bit today, and heard TG 6181 again. Don't know what it is, but it sounded like it was some sort of disaster preparedness drill. (At the civic center, perhaps?) Also, they kept switching between channels 1, 2, and 3 on their radios, which correspond to TGs 6181, 6182, and 6183. So, if we ever figger out who it was, we also know they have at least three channels!
I once heard the callsign "CRI" used on this channel. Charleston is a Cities Readiness Initiative city (a CDC disaster preparedness and response program); perhaps it's associated with that program. Just a guess...
I was in Little Italy (a/k/a Clarksburg) earlier in the week and heard "I'm clear Mannington" on T/G 211. If Mannington has a muni PD, perhaps this is their channel.
Mannington does have a municipal PD. (I've spent some time at the Consol and Eastern Associated Sites in that area, and, believe me, where it says 25mph thru town, DON"T go 26!!! )
I'd say that is a good catch... Wonder if it is Mannington alone, or if some of the smaller incorporated towns, like Barrackville and Farmington are on it too?

LINCOLN COUNTY:
Heard an extended conversation yesterday between a Tech and someone (perhaps the Lincoln OES director or EMS head?) on TG 4931. The Lincoln guy was in the Dispatch center at Hamlin, talking on "One of them new installed radios". So, perhaps we can reasonably assume that the 4900 series may go to Lincoln, and 4931 is some sort OES -EMS TG.
It was kind of funny... The Lincoln guy, like most people, had no clue at all about radios in general, much less the Interop system, but he was very interested, and the tech gave him all sorts of information -
A) The goal is to have every ambulance in the state on Interop First.
B) As he was explaining the Med Base setup, he said, that in additoon to the various Meds A, B, C, D, and E, (which we already know about), there would be a Med F to talk directly to the physician.
C) Ward Rock will be up soon, and they are shopping for a site near Harts.
... and a bunch of other stuff. It was really interesting - I felt like I was in a meeting with the guy myself. Pretty cool...
