Default programming SmartZone system into Uniden BCD396XT ?

5. Set End Code: Should this be set to 'Analog+Digital' for the KSC
system? (it is set to 'Analog' by default)


If it's an analog system, leave it at the default.


(from the RR page for this system)
System Type: Motorola Type II SmartZone
System Voice: APCO-25 Common Air Interface Exclusive
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Does this mean the system is a full digital system, or a mixed
analog/digital system?

6. Audio AGC: should this be set to 'Digital' for the KSC system?
(it is set to 'Analog' by default)


Only set to digital if it's a digital system.


7. Under Enter Band Plan - Custom - Offset - Polarity, i have the
offset as 380 to match the values listed on several websites.
Do I leave the Polarity setting set to "+ Polarity"?


No bandplan settings unless they are different than normal.
Radioreference.com will mention if that's needed.


The websites both specify the band plan settings as:
Lower: 406.1, Upper: 410.8375, spacing: 12.5 and Offset: 380
Since the radio gives "800/900 Standard", "800 Splinter" and "Custom", I
selected "Custom" and entered the settings from the websites.

9. As for the talkgroup tables, will the radio populate those from
the control channels, or do I need to enter them manually?


Talkgroups are not frequencies.


I understand. Under Program System, there is an option "Edit Group",
which is currently empty. Do I need to put anything in there, or will
the radio figure that out.

Thanks for the help!
