Setting P25 Band Plans

(P25 Only)

The BCD996T includes two operation modes for P25 systems: explicit mode and implicit mode channel assignment. Explicit mode systems include all information needed to determine voice frequencies on the control channel. You must supply the system’s band plan for implicit systems for the scanner to correctly determine voice frequencies.

To set the band plan for a P25 system:

[MENU] J Program System JF

4 Edit Site JF

4 Edit Band Plan JF

Then, follow these steps:

1.4 the Band Plan table entry you want to edit and JF.

2.Enter the base frequency for the table entry and JF.

3.Enter the spacing for the table entry (in kHz) and JF. Repeat 1-3 for additional table entries.

Notes:

•For Explicit mode systems, leave all entries blank.

•There is no way to determine the correct entries using the scanner (other than trial and error). You must get this information from another source. Uniden America Corporation does not have this information.
