03/04/2010 Updates - 14 Systems updated, I removed the IL State Conv System and combined it with the 01 Statewide system. There were alot of frequencies added to the 12 Indy Conv system with thanks to who ever submitted them to RadioReference. Several talkgroups were added to several SAFE-T systems: Johnson, Hamilton, Indy, Shelby, Putnam and Morgan. I organized the 95 Ham Radio system and added several frequencies there. The 95 Ham Radio system is still a work in progress so it may still get updated in a future update. A big update, especially if you are in the Indianapolis or Johnson county area. Past update changes are listed at the bottom of this page. I have uploaded my .usd files from my BCD796, BCD396t, and BCD996t Uniden scanners, the 796 file will also work with the bcd296 scanner. The FreeScan file will work for the new 396XT and 996XT scanners. Right click on the links to the left and choose "save as" and save them. These are .zip files and you will notice in these files, there are several counties in West Central Indiana and East Central Illinois covered including Indianapolis, Carmel, Lafayette, Terre Haute, Danville IL, Champaign IL, and of course - Lebanon Indiana. Enjoy! NEW!!! I've also created a rough version of instructions in a PDF file for using my files to program your scanner, located to the left. If you simply want me to program your scanner with the files I have for Central Indiana and East Central Illinois, I will do it for $20.00. It takes about 20-30 minutes at my home and while you are there, I will show you some basic functions for using your scanner. I do not have the software to program the Radio Shack scanners, just the Uniden's. For more information, email me at n9wpbrian@yahoo.com and we can set up a time to get your scanner programmed. If you know of a talkgroup I don't have listed or if you have .usd files to share with me, please email me and let me know at n9wpbrian@yahoo.com The map of Central Indiana above shows in Green what is complete (SAFE-T and Anolog Freqs), yellow is SAFE-T only, and counties in blue are anolog frequencies only. The light blue counties are located in the Misc. Indiana system. Many counties in Illinois are covered too just not listed on this map, especially Vermillion county and Champaign county. These files are used with the uasd software that came with the scanners or downloaded from the Uniden websight. One more note. These are programmed for the Boone County Indiana area and there are several counties that are locked out, once in your software, you can unlock these or once they are loaded into your scanner, they can be unlocked. Most everything is set for ID search, not ID Scan and all of the DOT (Dept. of Transportation) talkgroups and misc frequencies are locked out too. Costomize to your liking and again, ENJOY!
NOTE: IF you use my files, that's great and enjoy them, if you post them somewhere, please give credit where credit is due. Thanks ~ N9WP NOTE:There are 2 MECA-1 systems in the 396t and 996t files. The first one is split by agency, the second one is split up by the area (district).
FACTS: Fast facts on the BCD396t file: will fill the scanner 93 percent, 85 systems, 452 groups, 6359 talkgroups (alpha tags), and frequencies. That is 2% more, -1 new
systems, 13 new groups, and 151 new talkgroups and frequencies from the last update on 02/17/2010. Please note that the number of talk groups and frequencies is over 6,000 so when loading into your scanner, you
will have to remove several systems. Enjoy and let me know if you use my files. Also note that the 996t files will show more talkgroups because there is a limit of the number of talkgroups per system on the 396t (200) and the top limit (250) of the 996t hasn't been reached yet.
Fast facts on the XT File: 86 systems, 454 groups, 6582 talkgroups (alpha tags) and frequencies.
That is -1 new systems, 13 new groups, 155 new talkgroups and frequencies from the last update on 02/17/2010.
Please note that if you use the XT FreeScan file for a scanner that is not an XT model, you will have to remove talkgroups and systems to make it work with the scanner. For the 396XT and 996XT, that is not necessary.
This page last updated: 03/2010 Update Archives: (02/17/2010 Updates) - 13 systems updated. I just added a few talkgroups and frequencies to some systems, nothing major. For the XT file, there were some groups that were turned off that I corrected. (01/06/2010 Updates) - 22 systems updated. Most of the updates were talkgroups that were added to these SAFE-T systems: Indy, Morgan, Johnson, and Madison. Any other changes were small. (12/15/2009 Updates) - 26 systems updated. Small update but I felt it needed to be posted. Lebanon Schools use a LTR trunk system, that has been added. I also re-arranged some frequencies and talkgroups. Montgomery county Sheriff has moved to the SAFE-T system so I added their talkgroup to area systems that it has been broadcasted on. I also updated the 796d file to add some Clinton county talkgroups and the Montgomery county talkgroups along with a couple conventional frequencies. (11/19/2009 Update) - 17 systems updated. Added a couple talkgroups to some SAFE-T systems, added and updated some conventional frequencies, added and updated Rail Road frequencies to several counties. Added all the DNR conventional freqs I have to the Statewide system, added some groups under some systems to better seperate and organize things. (11/19/2008) - Updated the excel spreadsheet with the layout of the scanner files and their systems, download it from the link on the right. (10/19/2009 Update) - 14 systems updated. Added a couple PL Tones to some Frequencies in the Boone Co Conventional section, added talkgroups to these SAFE-T systems: Howard, Montgomery, Boone, Hancock, Marion (Indianapolis), Johnson, Shelby, and Clinton. (10/01/2009 Update) - 4 systems updated. Small update but corrected some wrong frequencies and talkgroups and thought it would be worth updating here. (09/25/2009 Update) - 20 systems updated. Added some conventional frequenies to the Boone county area. Added some talk groups to several SAFE-T systems. (06/26/2009 Update) - 24 systems updated. Cleaned up several things, sorted some systems, added some new talkgroups and frequencies. I re-did the 87 Chicago Area file and deleted the 88 Cook Co file. The Chicago area file does not include everything in Chicago but is more as a traveling through the area kind of file. I also combined the 93 Air Show file into the 92 Mil Air file. The limit of frequencies and talkgroups for the 396t and 996t is 6000 and these files on the 996t are over that limit. So when you go to upload the file to your scanner, you will have to omit a system or two that you normally don't listen to or receive. Enjoy... (06/17/2009 Update) - 25 systems updated. Lots of talkgroups added to the Hamilton Co Edacs trunk system. Removed the system "99 TV Audio" for 2 reasons, the 396t and 996t have a 6000 channel limit and I have now come to that limit, plus, on June 12th, 2009, analog TV transmissions were turned off and now TV is digital and the scanners are not capable of decoding the audio for TV anymore. The Tippecanoe county Motorola system has rebanded. The Uniden UASD software can not be configured for the rebanded frequencies but FreeScan is configured for it. Make sure your scanner has the latest firmware upgrade. (05/22/2009 Update) - 7 systems updated, added a couple new talkgroups. Not a major update but did correct a couple wrong frequencies like the nation-wide Ambulance frequency, I had it originally at 154.340 and it should have been 155.340. The BCD796 file, I replaced MECA-2 with the SAFE-T Indianpolis system and added new frequencies and talkgroups. (05/08/2009 Update) - 8 systems updated, added some frequencies and talkgroups. Also uploaded my 396XT freescan file for everyone to use. To get FreeScan go to the FreeScan webpage. (04/26/2009 Update) - 52 systems updated so a big update, deleted many duplicates (probably close to 100), updated the 2008 Nascar frequencies to 2009, added new frequency's, talkgroups and tones, added 2 new systems to cover Madison county's SAFE-T systems (but only has the State PD Pendleton Post talkgroups programmed). (02/15/2009 Update) - Updated 29 systems in the 396t and 996t uasd files since the update on 11/28/2008. Corrected and added talkgroups, added a couple frequencies, and added CTCSS and DCS tones to several frequencies. In the 796 file I updated talkgroups for 1 - Boone county, 5 - Indy's MECA and added some tones to frequencies. (11/28/2008 update) - I've added an excel spreadsheet with the layout of the scanners and their systems, download from the link on the right. (11/28/2008 update) - A large update. Moved several of the systems around and re-numbered them to make room for some LTR systems in Indianapolis I added to the usd files. Added several new talkgroups and frequencies to many systems. Updated or moved 69 systems in the 996t file. See the facts section a little further down to see just how much was updated and added. (11/12/2008 update) - Gave this page a new look, hopefully making it easier to follow. (10/28/2008 update) - A small update but corrected some entries, updated 11 systems, 1 new group and 15 new talkgroups/frequencies for the 396t and 996t files. (9/01/08 update) Updated 24 systems, 188 new talkgroups, and added the Shelby County SAFET system. There were also several alpha tag changes for the new Indianapolis MECA system. I did remove a couple systems, the old MECA system which is no longer used, and I also removed the files I had for Ohio which where greatly outdated and unconfirmed. (7/24/08 update) Updated 19 systems, not very many new talkgroups, the biggest change was that I took the new Indianapoli MECA-1 and replaced the old one. Still a really good update especially if you listen to MECA. (6/10/08 update) Updated 26 systems, many talkgroups added and updated, added the McLean county star system in Illinois which covers the Bloomington-Normal area. The 796 file contains the new Indianapolis MECA-2 system. (5/27/08 update) Updated 58 systems since the update on 5/08/08. Added 61 Benton Co SAFE-T system, added tons of talkgroups to the new Indianapolis MECA-1 and MECA-2 systems and I changed most of the analog frequency modulation settings from auto to FM which greatly improves VHF sound and reception. (5/08/08 update) Updated 20 systems since the update on 4/16/08. Added the MECA-1 system. It is labeled as 10-New MECA-1 but has a quick key of 0 set up. Not all of MECA-1 is defined, as I gather more information, more talk groups will be identified. Right now the new MECA-1 is in testing and agencies should start migrating over at the end of May, 2008. (4/16/08 update) Updated 30 systems since the update on 3/30/08. Added and fixed many talkgroup alpha tags. The MECA-2 has been changed to reflect the new system they have moved to. Not all alpha tags are defined yet but a good number of them have been identified. (3/30/08 update) Updated 26 systems since the update on 2/27/2008. Also added a Tri-county system which covers Vermillion, Warren, Fountain, and Parke county conventional frequencies, taking them out of the Indiana Misc. system. (2/27/08 update) Updated 26 systems since the update on 1/20/08. (1/20/08 update) Updated 34 systems since the update on 12/24/07. Added new frequencies, talk groups and alpha tags. I also corrected many of the digital vs analog settings on the 996 files. (12/24/07 update) I added the Illinois statewide StarCom21 digital system for some Eastern Illinois counties (StarCom21 is just like Indiana's statewide SAFE-T system (396 and 996 files only)) and updated several talkgroups and frequencies in both Illinois and Indiana. |
