Oh! This and might help you too. When using ARC250 to program go to the
TRUNK>SYSTEM SETTINGS and choose the trunking system\bank you want to
program. After you do that, start entering the frequencies and tag
information *only*. When you're done entering the frequency and tag
information go to OPTIONS>CHECK DATA IN TABLE USING BAND PLAN>CURRENT BANK.
This will fill the data in for you *automatically* and is about 99%
accurate.
