Searching a Trunked Bank

If programming a Type I system, you cannot Scan the

trunking bank you just programmed unless you enter talk

groups into memory. See ahead for details. With the

search function, you’ll be able to find all the active talk

groups within the trunked system.

Once the data

channel is acquired,

the scanner begins

trunk tracking. Talk

group ID’s, which

represent different

service groups, begin

to display.

While searching, you won’t know exactly who the ID’s are

assigned to unless you listen awhile or until ID lists are

available in frequency guides or on internet sites. However,

it usually only takes a few minutes to figure out police, fire,

and emergency medical personnel. Other IDs may take

some time, but determining who each ID represents is half

the fun of TrunkTracker™.

Changing the Display Mode

While monitoring a trunking bank in any of the trunk

modes, press

to change the display mode. You can

display one of the following conditions:

n

Current Scan List

n

Current Active Banks

Repeater Activity Indicators

You will find more information on these channel activity

indicators later in this section.
