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   *

Try that and we'll take it from there....good luck!
