Documentation Sub-page for Template:Table_Trbosys

Scope of Use

Purpose

This template is to be used to define the Frequencies, slots, color codes of any DMR / MOTOTRBO trunked system. In addition, each frequency can be appended with a short comment. If longer descriptions are necessary, add a new section at the bottom of the table, and describe in detail.
This template is required because the current version of the RRDB does not display this information correctly, if at all.

Directly Invoked By

Any TRS that contains the Tracker_DMR template.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Expected Value(s)	Notes
TrunkName	The name of the TRS as defined in the RRDB	A value is Required
SiteName	The name of the site as defined in the RRDB	A value is Required
ChanNumxA	The channel number for slot 1 - see Usage Notes below
ColorCodexA	The color code associated with this frequency and slot
TrunkFreqxA	The frequency as found in the RRDB - see Usage Notes below	A value is Required
CommentsxA	A Short description or comment on usage
ChanNumxB	The channel number for slot 2 - see Usage Notes below
ColorCodexB	The color code associated with this frequency and slot
TrunkFreqxB	The frequency as found in the RRDB - see Usage Notes below	A value is Required
CommentsxB	A Short description or comment on usage
StateName	The State (or Province) in which this TRS resides	A value is Required

Usage Notes

If there are multiple sites to this system, define 1 page for each site.
Slot numbers in the template are stated as A or B, but in reality they are slots 1 and 2. This convention was chosen to avoid confusion when reading channel numbers and slots together - for example, if we wish to define channel 01 slot 1, if someone printed 011, it would be very easy to think this was channel 11. The letters A and B reinforce the 2 slot principle without sacrificing accuracy.
CAUTION - The entry of frequencies in the RRDB has been highly variable in its accuracy. Many are attempting to represent the same frequency twice in an attempt to display slots 1 and 2. This results in the system showing the frequencies repeated twice.
There is space in the template for a total of 64 channels (32 channels x 2 slots / channel). Not all channels need to be filled - if there's only 10 frequencies in the system, then the rest should be removed from the copy of the template being applied. The rest will be resolved automatically. x should vary from 1 to 32.
The COLOR template can be used to make the frequencies red or blue, to correspond with known primary or alternate control channels.

Examples

The horizontal lines below separate examples for clarity and do not appear when template is invoked.

How to invoke this template

Note that there are only 2 frequencies, with 2 slots, in this system. The Hide statement indicates the rest of the template is not needed, and is dropped.

If you do not want the "See the Monitoring DMR and Monitoring TRBO sections of the DMR MOTOTRBO articles for compatible receivers, scanners and applications" statement at the top of the table, include the following line in your configuration:

|HideTrackerDMR=

If you don't want the categories added to the page automatically, include the following line:

|NoCategory=
