Mike, you've lost me regarding bandplan 4. Could you provide me a link, my data doesnt show that.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

The codplug you posted (#16) will never work, It is such a basket case, your best bet is with a new codeplug from scratch.
I gather this is for New Jersey/New York fire so would need to know the counties you are trying to monitor.
You will need ALL of the information for the systems/sites/and TGs. Then work up a bandplan before even opening CPS.
The fail is your base frequencies are out of band.

Again maybe a scanner is better choice if you don't know what a band plan is or is used for.
Trying to monitor niagara county fire/ems. Niagara County Public Safety System Trunking System, Niagara County, New York
All my 50+ years experience is in conventional systems, trunking is new to me, and theres a learning curve and no
desire to purchase a scanner when I'm fully capable and equipped. The nas codeplug I had attached was worked up
by some well intentioned folks here who had gone out of their way to assist. This is a six voice channel simulcast system.
I think the bandplan is my biggest stumbling block.
Here's the bandplan info but you must be a Premium Subscriber to view it: Niagara County Public Safety System Site: Simulcast (radioreference.com)
I see 2 minor issues that need fixing and that's it. Not sure how that makes it a basket case?
ALL of the frequency entries are default. 22 conventional channels, you loose the top 6. Only a 16 channel control.
You said 2 zones, I only see one.
The TGS look OK and the test frequencies are good, the rest hasn't been set.
Might be a decent starter codeplug.

Those are place holder conventional frequencies that he uses to monitor a specific talkgroup from or to scan from. You should read up on NAS sometime.
I know that. I found his zone 2, scan list looks OK, but the zone frequency assignmens are all 403.0250

Getting tired of all the stupidity.
Information on how the bandplans work and how to apply them practically, figuring out which one works, is kind of scarce and hard to find. It would be handy if there was a convenient resource available to us that would shed some light on this somewhat mysterious subject.
But then again, I don't encourage people to apply the NAS approach anymore, given how much things have changed since the method was first described. It's just not the same world as it was back then. It's less safe for those who choose to use a public safety radio as as scanner.

You're still not getting it. 🤦🏼♂️
I repaired the zone /frequency assignments and the Fail 001 is gone. I’m now scanning on Zone 1 Scan personality 1 but no receive audio is breaking through.
I programmed a conventional button to monitor and can hear digital noise as if there were a talk group present when it were transmitting.

Not sure why this fool is still allowed to post his nonsense.
Did you fix the bandplan yet? That's the first problem to sort out.
Which fool?
I figured he was quoting me but referring to merlin. I've been (accurately) called a lot of things (a-hole, d-bag, prick, jerk, etc.) but not often a fool. 😅
Next post OP makes: " my radio just shows a blank screen? Can anyone help me?"....
Definitely not GTR, we all love GTR!
Upon review I can see how it can be misinterpreted being I quoted him, but it was more of an add on to his statement regarding merlin whom seems to have a knack for misinformation.
Mike, I set the base and channel spacing. Unless I missed something else somewhere?
Swing and a miss. Strike three, you're out!.
