Convert digital or hex EDACS GID’s to the Uniden AFS (Agency-Fleet-Subfleet) format using the Windows scientific calculator: Using this example (586 DECIMAL = 04-092 AFS = 24A HEX): (1) 586 decimal = 01001001010 binary (GID’s are 11-bit binary) (2) Split the binary as follows 0100 / 1001 / 010 (3) Convert each section of the above binary number to decimal (04 09 2) (4) Format as 04-092 If you get a binary that isn’t 11 bits, just add leading zeroes until you get 11 bits. To convert a hex ID, just enter that in Hex mode instead of the digital GID code in digital mode.
