Converting Program Talkgroup Question?????

flashradio · Post by **flashradio** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 6:56 am

I have a problem when I convert the Decimal number Off the trunktracker and convert to Maxtrac or even Hex format. Some Talk groups work with No Problem others dont seem to work, I Hear Nothing? for example I have tracker id of 55568 convert to Maxtrac 803473 or Hex D91 (for a MTX) but Cant hear anything.

Would anyone have any idea why Certain talk groups Work and Others DON'T????????

Thanks in Advance

OK so I Can't find out why some Talk groups work and some Don't!

I have a different Question that Maybe has something to do with it, When Programming a Spectra with the same Talk groups a Message On Some Talk Groups SAY "Odd talk group, Do you wish to Continue" what does it mean, I diddn't Know anything about odd & Even talk groups????

Has anyone seen that before?

Thanks for your time

I cannot answer your first question, as your conversions appear to be correct.

"Odd" and "even" probably relates to a quirk of the SmartNet II feature set, which, if implemented with priority scanning, requires that only hexadecimal "even" TG IDs be used: that is, those ending with 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, B, D, or F.
