[Scan-DC] How to load the Ft Myer 380 Trunk System??

[John Coker]

Thanks!  

Got a different (simpler) idea that works.  Just put "Type" to "P25 Auto".  Appears to work fine.

I'll try your settings later; very unusual numbers.  Glad GRE thought to have an 'auto' for this!!

  I don't have firsthand experience with the JNCR system and a 296 but what I would try is: 
  Create a UHF Type2/P25 system.
  Program the control channels.
  If possible set the band plan to    #1 380.000  12.5khz  0.   If that doesn't work add  #2 762.00625  6.25 khz   0  #3  380.000  12.5khz  0
  These are band plan settings that my 396 automatically acquired when monitoring the Ft Myer site.


  Going off how I program my Pro-106, 
  Create a new TSYS - P25 AUTO and enter the control channels.  Set it to narrow FM and then move on to adding TGRPs or just a wildcard one.
  That should be it.

    I can't get the Ft. Myer trunking system (Joint National Capital Region System) to trunk.  I have both a BC296D, and a GRE PSR-500.

    The 13 channels are listed on Radio Reference, but not the base, offset, steps.  Although I did find a consolidated list earlier that showed the Base as 136.00, step of 12.5, and offset of zero.  I assume the base of 136.00 is a typo.   I've tried several guesses at the correct base, but nothing works.  Since the 380 systems are pretty unique to the DC area, I hope someone knows what I am missing.

    This system is very busy today with mostly clear traffic, but I can't get it to trunk (trying on a PSR500, listening in conventional mode on the 296D).  

    Can anybody suggest how to get this to track properly on either radio?

    Thanks!

    Feel free to call my cell if that is easier.  309-369-7428 (Verizon).  Probably free on Sunday to all cellphone users.

    Thanks!
