[Scan-DC] Scanning Ocean City question, STAR 1

[Doug K.]

Good evening, Scan-DC'rs,

I’m working on refining the Ocean City MD programming in my BC-796 and have 
the following questions about some discrepancies I’ve run into… any help or 
thoughts would be appreciated.

1.  On radioreference.com, I see two "miscellaneous" talkgroups with the 
description  STAR1 and STAR2 - anyon have any idea what that might stand 
for?  (I think I have a clue, but would like to hear what the group here has 
to say first!)

2.  RadioReference.com tells me that this system type is an “EDACS Networked 
Standard”.  OK, but the selections in the Butel ARC-250 software for the 
Uniden BC-796 are EDACS Wide, EDACS Narrow, EDACS SCT, and LT.  Which one of 
those matches up with EDACS Standard?  (I think it’s EDACS Wide, but not 
sure now how I figured that out!)  Although RadioReference.com has its own 
forum, and Yahoo has a forum for the Butel ARC-250 programming software for 
the BC-796, I thought it would be easier to try posting here first.

3.  I've noticed several discrepancies between the talkgroup or channel plan 
for the fire radios, and the talkgroup descriptions in the tables... will 
detail those later in a separate message, but several of the channel numbers 
don't match up.  Any ideas?  Again, more on that later in a separate 
message.

Thanks!

Regards to all,

Doug in Gaithersburg
