For example, APCO-25can be used as a voice type on a Motorola system that is not actually a P25 system. When we're trying to determine whether a system is a P25 system, we need to ignore the System Voice line and focus on the System Type line. If there is P25 Voice on a non-P25 system, the scanner can sort this out while scanning.

System Frequencies

The system frequencies section in the database lists all the frequencies used by the system. For Motorola and P25 systems, you will need to program only the system control channel frequencies for primary control channels and for alternate control channels in the database.

For EDACS and LTR systems, you will need to program all the listed frequencies and their associated LCN. Some systems have multiple sets of frequencies. These are called multi-sitesystems: each set of frequencies corresponds to a different physical antenna site.

Talk Group IDs (Channels)

The Talk Group information section shows the different channels on the system and which agency uses them. You'll need to go through the list and make a note of the channels you want to hear. Then you can start thinking about how you want to organize those channels.

(One of the great features available to subscribers on RadioReference is the ability to tag channels directly on the site and print out a nicely-formatted hardcopy of each system. It makes this task much, much easier.)
