I programmed the System as a Conventional and set the Audio as Digital in the settings. Coming in loud and clear on the Uniden as well as the TRX1.

Where does it show that speaker (below) as an AMPLIFIED speaker?  It looks like a very simple 5-watt, 8-ohm speaker.  There is nothing so show amplification or power.

This is a great little amplified speaker. Just connect the power lead to the something powered off the ACC position of your ignition switch and ypu should be good to go.

If color code 5 is set, it has to be digital only for the audio type.
The color code option is only available after that is selected.

You will hear all the TGs regardless. If you want to program it as OFT, 
you can select specific TGs to hear and use ID SCAN.

Yes you can import just one city into a FL.

Hi Guys!  Thank you so much!  Super sorry I should have told you the
radio - the BCD436HP.  And my first actual "use" of DMR!

Not sure how to program a 1 freq trunk, but guessing I can look that up.
I'd love to do that.

Audio Type?  Is that on the scanner only?  In the software I have
Modulation Auto, Color Code 5 under Audio Option - but not sure where
Audio Type is.. In the software, on the radio or both?

It doesn't look like it's a trunked system, on RRDB.. Can I still prog
as trunk and hear talk groups?  I don't have to - I'm interested in
hearing it all..

As usual - one question always brings many more from me..

Can I take just one city in a county from the Full/New DB and bring that
down into a FL with a bunch of other stuff in it?  So I'd be just
updating that one city?  It SHOULD re-make my FL - since it's been years
since I touched it!

Aside:
Is there a group for the SDS100?  I'm thinking of getting one.  Or Joe -
is there a new scanner coming out?  I notice most places are sold out of
the SDS100.

Thanks - As always.

If they are using conventional DMR, you have two choices:

1. Keep it as-is but change the audio type to DIGITAL ONLY and program
the color code.

2. Program it as a one-frequency-trunk and then you can select the
talkgroups you want to hear.

If they upgraded from analog to DMR AND upgraded to a trunked
system, you would have to program that as a new system type.

Would I have to update my FL assuming it's the same Service Type, which
is turned on?

BCD536 No Volume

Tim Ferguson
 

I moved my two BCD536HP's to a different location in the office for convenience and now I cannot get audio out of one.  Is there possibly a muting function I enabled during the move?  Even tried with squelch completely off and volume at maximum.

Thanks!

Re: Amplified Speaker

Michael WA7SKG
 

Interesting thought about the BCT15X. You can specify which channels go to the recording output. So, you could send your priority or important channels to the record output and connect an amplified speaker or feed it to your aux input on your stereo. Then, if you turn down your main audio of all channels, the important stuff will come out loud to grab your attention.

I use a Bluetooth transmitter plugged in to the top of the HP436 and pair it to a Bose Sound Link speaker.  You can turn the volume up with the Bluetooth speaker.

Re: Amplified Speaker

Then patching to Aux, Cassette adapter or FM modulator are all perfect solutions allowing sound to be played on the car stereo as loud as you like. But, then again, using an earphone is cheap and simple if one doesn't want to use any of those other things.

I agree that an " external speaker jack " is specific, where " audio output " is indeed very general and not specific. My apologies to those I may have confused.
