BCD325P2/BCD996P2: BCD996P2: How To Program Conventional DMR

[CanesFan95]

If you have a conventional DMR frequency, how do you tell the scanner exactly what color code, slot, and talk group ID to listen to? I don't see any option to put in the slot number or TG ID in a conventional system.

What software are you using?

You don't on a conventional system. Create a DMR One-Freq system then you will be able to enter in the TGID and Slot on a TGID channel and Color Code on a site frequency.

I'm using ProScan. It seems odd to program it as a one-frequency trunking system (which ProScan calls "DMR One Freq Trunk"), because it's not trunking, it's a conventional frequency. With trunking, you wouldn't tell it any slot number because the talk groups trunk around. But conventional, you need to tell it which slot.

So I guess this means that for every one conventional DMR frequency, you have to program it as a whole separate system? I was hoping to just have 1 conventional system with all the DMR frequencies in the 1 system.

If it is using control signaling to identify different users on the system, then it is a form of trunking. It just does not use a control channel. In order to accommodate fields such as TGID, the scanner must use a trunking method for its programming.

If you have a DMR channel that uses only one frequency and only ever uses one TGID (so you don't really care what it is), then you can program it as a simple conventional channel. Otherwise, it is best to use DMR One Freq Trunk.

 

[CanesFan95]

But a conventional frequency wouldn't use any control channel though, would it? Since it's conventional and not trunked? I have a few DMR conventional frequencies that use different TGs on both slots.

Then they should be programmed as One Frequency Trunked.

 

[UPMan]

It uses control signaling along with the voice signaling on the same frequency. It is trunked on the single frequency. It uses control signaling to assign/identify a channel amongst two or more TGID groups.

I have logged several DMR hits but in manual mode how do you get the 996p2 to display the color /slot
am new to this,this is in custom search mode.
Hit are 453.0125 appears to be south river electric
451.200
464.6875
this is in Cumberland co nc

 

[UPMan]

Display Mode 1 will show the flavor (CON, CAP, etc).
Display Mode 2 will show the Color Code.
Display Mode 3 will show the slot

Thank you much UpMan

Thanks to UpMan one system id and going in scanner
Unknown as of yet off Fort Bragg sounds like a batt or unit operation internal comms
464.6875
cc 1
slot 1
Tg#101 so far

 

[GMB951]

The above DMR freq of 464.6875 has been confirmed as FTCC College Campus ops
CC 1
Slot 1

 

[CanesFan95]

Is there a way to make it display all 3 at the same time? There's enough pixels on the screen to do it.

Can you go step by step instructions how to program a new single frequency dmr channel so it will decode every group and transmission on that frequency. Thanks
