Easier to Read BCD396T/UBCD396T Digital Scanner Manual
You have to create systems first, create groups in the systems, create channels in the groups,
then
program your frequencies or IDs into the channels. Or, you can
or
(only after you program the trunking system). Trunking IDs go into
trunking system groups
and conventional frequencies go into
conventional system groups
. You can only store one trunking system per 'system'. You can store up to 400 systems, up to 20 groups per system, and up to 200 channels
or
IDs per group.
Note:
Once a system has been created, the system type cannot be changed.
The (U)BCD396T will give you about 6000
tagged
channels. Also, remember that conventional frequencies
and
IDs are considered as channels.
One suggestion; assign every group and every system to a quick key. You can assign as many systems you want to a system quick key and as many groups you want to a
group quick key. That way you can just turn systems and groups on and off and not have to worry about locking them out. If you don't assign a system or group to a quick
key, you have to lock it out if you don't want to scan it.

Note for Motorola/P25 systems
: If you are not sure if the system is Motorola or P25, look at the
system voice
for your system. Those
entries that say
System Voice: Analog and APCO-25 Common Air Interface
are not true Project 25 systems as they have one or more analog talkgroups. Program
these systems as a
Motorola
system and let the scanner detect the digital. If the System Voice says
System Voice: APCO-25 Common Air Interface Exclusive
then the system is a true Project 25 system and program it as a
P25
system.
Use '
800MHz Standard
' for 800 MHz systems that use the standard band plan.
Use '
800MHz Custom
' for
rebanded
800 MHz systems that use a custom band plan.
Use '
800MHz Splinter
' for 800 MHz systems that use the splinter band plan (typically systems near the international borders).
Use '
p25
' for a Motorola Astro APCO 25 system in
any
band.
