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
