In Reply to: Re: Greg Knox: Can You Explain LTR Programming for BC780? posted by Greg Knox on December 24, 2000 at 10:20:22:
You will need to use one 780 bank for the LTR system only. Put the frequencies in the repeater ID order in your 780 bank as the corresponding channel number. I was able to use my OptoTrakker in LTR mode with another receiver with baseband audio out to the OptoTrakker to see what the repeater id is for each frequency. If you have to guess what the order is, you may have many possible combinations.Example: My local LTR system uses frequency 856.0125. Using another receiver set to this frequency the and the baseband audio output to the OptoTrakker set to LTR decode, I was able to hear the subaudible data burst from the repeater on the receiver, then the OptoTrakker was able to display the "Current Repeater ID" estimate on the right hand of the display. On the OptoTrakker display it will show: Area Code: 1 Digit, Home Repeater 2 Digits, User ID: 3 Digits,and the Current Repeater ID Estimate 2 Digits. The repeater ID is a two number id such as 02 meaning repeater #2. In this case I put the frequency 856.0125 in channel #2 of my 780 bank. I repeated the process for all the frequencies. After all the frequencies are programmed in the proper channel position I went back and selected the LTR Trunking mode for each frequency. Then you can do Trunk search and program talkgroup scanlist's.
