EXPRESS PSN, WHAT IS IT?

 Hello and Welcome Back...

A new feature i've added to my programming Masterfile is Bank 6 = 'Express PSN'

So what is 'Express PSN'?..

When I do a program for Uniden Radio Scanners (436pt / 536pt & SDS100 / SDS200), I will often ask the customer where they live. With this information, I program the PSN (Public Safety Network) using the N, S, E & W method.

Meaning, if the customer lives say Penrith, then i will program for Penrith & surrounds (Nepean Hospital, St Marys, Westfields Penrith), then W = West (Katoomba, Wentworth Falls, Springwood, Glenbrook), then S = South (Razorback, Gregory Hills, Liverpool, Horsley Park), E = East (Gov Phillip Tower, Homebush, Parramatta) then finally, N = North (Windsor, Kurrajong Heights)

Each PSN tower in this area is unlocked (there are around 460 sites in my database of PSN towers) but then I thought 'What If The Customer Goes Outside These Areas / Travels Around NSW?' so I designed the 'Express PSN' bank (Bank 6)

What 'Express PSN' does is, it has every control channel frequency in one bank, all active... So, technically, you could have your scanner programmed for Penrtih but travel out to Dubbo or Bathurst and the scanner would work as it searches the active frequencies for that area

 'Express PSN' does all the work. The scanner will search the 155 control frequencies scattered around NSW, lock into an active frequency and decode, letting you listen to the PSN Network no matter where you are in NSW... or Queensland. I recently tested the Express PSN bank in Broadbeach QLD and its worked excellently. I was picking up around 4 towers with excellent signal.

So, if you travel, 'Express PSN' is the bank for you.. 

To get the best out of 'Express PSN', be sure to use an antenna with gain, the more the better. The PSN network loves a strong signal and using an antenna with heaps of gain make the work so much more easier

If you own a Uniden 436pt / 536pt / SDS100 & SDS200 Radio Scanner and would like this function on your scanner, check out this link here = https://scanradionsw.blogspot.com/2024/08/radio-programming-services-available.html

Happy Scanning

WHY CHOOSE ME TO PROGRAM YOUR RADIO?

  

1. - I live in NSW... The Masterfile I give to you is the same one I use, Its just modified for your needs, that way, if somethings not working, I will know about it.. Took me 6 months to build..

2. - I was the founder of the COW (Cell on Wheels) frequency list on PSN/GRN Network...

After searching for nearly 2 days, I found that the COW Portable systems to have a 'NSW Wide' assignment attached to them, which means if your tower goes down for maintenance, the COW system will kick in & because my MasterFile includes all NSW Wide COW frequencies, you will be able to continue to listen...

 

3. - I was the person who worked out settings for the 436PT that need to be changed in order to receive the PSN/GRN properly, settings to be more sensitive 

 

4. Inventor of the 'Express PSN' Setup - NSW Wide PSN scan in one bank.

5. 40 year experience with Radio Scanners

 

**  HOW MUCH DOES COST TO PROGRAM? **

Option 1.. $50   (Post MicroSD Card)  (436PT, 536PT, SDS100, SDS200)
This gets a Micro SD card sent to your address

It's up to yourself to have the technical knowledge to apply the Masterfile that has been emailed /posted to you. The Masterfile is the same as I use so I know they work and have been verified as working.

Also, its not up to me to teach you how to work YOUR scanner. I will try and help as much as I can to a point but its up to YOU to learn how YOUR scanner works.

Continuing to ask questions on why, when , how will see you blocked.. I program my way, I don't need to explain to you why I have programmed things the way I do, all you need to know is that, your scanner will work and work well* 

The step by step instructions are a guide only. 

I offer this service AS IS, meaning... I don't claim that its 100% correct, as whats good for me, may not be good for you.. (so far no problems :). I am not a professional, just a fellow hobbyist.

The setup is designed to get you started and then you can add, modify or delete to make it your own.
This file is the same one i use so i know it works but sometimes things change.
Please have patience as i will endeavor to fix any problems that should they arise.
