Unication Pager Programming

[bravada]

I seem to recall seeing a post quite some time ago that outlined how to program the unit to actually search all of the control channels on a trunked system without having to actually enter alll the sites. Kind of in a “wildcard” fashion. Can someone please point me in the direction of that information. Thanks

When creating a P25 "system" in the PPS, instead of setting the RFSS, Site and frequencies, you can set the RFSS to FF, site to FF, and rather than programming frequencies, you can enable "Spectrum Scan" with the range of frequencies that the system sites operate on.

Of course, to ensure you lock onto the system you are intending, you will want to properly set the WACN and SysId to the correct value for the system.

Thanks I appreciate your help.

Finally got around to working at this. I had several system sites programmed previously (with correct WACN and system ID). I have now deleted all sites, changed RFSS to FF, created one site FF, put in the range of control channels and enable full spectrum scan. Now it doesn't seem to lock on any site. What am I missing?

quick question i missed the post and i know basic programing on my g4 , are you guys talking about scanning the frequency or the talkgroups ?
like my city has 5 frequency i enter for the p25 system ,but i have 100s of talk grouop i entered , could some one explain this a bit more or point me to a post or video thanks very much

My question specifically is a frequency issue. I have several sites and talkgroups programmed in my G4. I have enabled spectrum control channel scan, entered the exact range of control channels. However when I roam out of range of my programmed control channels, I get “out of range” even though I am within range of other sites (that are not programmed in my G4).

Did you add a site as "FFFF"? I don't have the PPS in front of me, but check Troymail's Post #2 in this thread. This may be your issue.
