Ok Brian, looking at this fiasco a little deeper my last rant was uncalled for as you had explained to me in an earlier email that you had a hard time finding the frequency data for your city on Radio Reference but when you sent me to your other frequency page, I was able to match up *their* data on Radio Reference. It looks like the system you're trying to program is a Motorola type II UHF and the spacing is 12.5 which ARC250 will assign for you. However you need to enter *all* of the below frequencies into *one bank* and you need to have *all* the frequencies entered, not just the control channel frequency: *102 South Simulcast 866.17500 866.23750 866.41250 866.46250 866.87500 867.08750 867.15000 867.23750 867.45000 * *867.92500a 868.17500a 868.41250a 868.87500c * ** http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=4275 Try that and we'll take it from there....good luck! -Roger ** ** ** ** On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 5:13 PM, brian.daniels12 <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, were getting closer.
