Hint: While scanning in open mode, you may not know exactly to whom the talk group IDs
are assigned until you listen awhile. To locate talk group ID lists for your local police, fire,
and other agencies, refer to frequency guides available at your local RadioShack store or
on internet sites such as www.trunkscanner.com. You can also determine the type of
agency you are listening to after a short while, be it a police, fire, or emergency medical
2-way radio user. Once you have identified the type of service, note the associated talk
group ID of that unit for future programming. See "identifying a trunked frequency".
Determining the service associated with a talk group ID might take awhile, but discovering
the ID owner of each signal is half the fun of trunk scanning!
