What you are seeing is the Hex version of the talkgroup ID’s. For a Motorola Type II system convert the Hex number to decimal and multiply by 16. For an EDACS system just convert the hex to decimal. You can use the scientific mode of the calculator in Windows to convert Hex to Decimal (and back if you wish). For EDACS systems on Uniden scanners that use the AFS method you can change the radio to use Decimal mode, enter the talkgroup ID in Decimal, then switch back to AFS mode to see the AFS method. Hex uses the numeric digits 0 thru 9, and the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F to represent numeric values.
