This is driving me crazy, but I don't know if I'm doing something incorrect or if the XT works differently than the earlier DMA scanners.
I'm trying to program in the Edison, East Brunswick, and Somerset County, NJ UHF trunk systems. Using the information in the RR database and the RR downloads for ARC XT, I put in the Base, Offset, and Channel spacing information. I also use the Calculate Upper Frequency function in ARC XT.
Two things happen, which I don't understand. First, the Lower and Upper Frequencies will change when I upload them into the scanner. Not all of them, but some of them. What I think is happening is that the firmware in the scanner is "correcting" the information to comply with the firmware algorithms.
Since I'm not New Jersey right now and won't be again for a couple of weeks, I can't immediately verify if this will work or not.
The other thing that seems to be happening is that the custom band plan information sometimes just disappears from the scanner after programming.
Can anyone give me an idea what, if anything, I might be doing wrong?
I've also done some programming using Freescan, but the results seem the same. Which is why I'm putting this in the Uniden forum, not the software forum.
