Programming Trunked Systems - Radio Shack PRO-96 Owner's Manual

You may replace any frequency by selecting the bank and channel, pressing PGM
and entering the new frequency.
You can clear programmed frequency data by pressing FUNC, then CLR.
If you make an error in the entry process, press CLEAR as often as needed to erase
the incorrect data, or press and hold CLEAR for one second to clear the entire field.
When you are ready to program additional channels, press PGM or
next channel memory location, or

Programming Trunked Systems

This section of the manual provides instructions to program your scanner to receive
trunked radio systems. If you are just getting started with trunked system monitoring or
have any questions about how your PRO-96 scanner operates when tracking trunked
radio systems, we suggest you read the manual section "TRUNKING SPECIAL
FEATURES", beginning on Page 80. Also see the supplied Trunking Guide.
For best results, program only one trunking system in each channel storage bank of your
scanner. Your scanner will lock on to the first active control channel it finds in a channel
storage bank and follow the activity from that trunking system.
Channel storage banks may contain both conventional, non-trunked channels, and
control or system channels for a trunked system. The scanner will check for activity on
the conventional channels after processing the trunking system.
Hint
Certain multi-zone Motorola systems use the same talkgroup IDs at multiple radio sites
to cover a large geographical area. In these types of systems it may be possible to
program multiple control channel frequencies into the same channel storage bank and
allow the scanner to lock on to the different control channels as you move from zone to
zone. This approach only works in networked systems where the same talkgroup IDs are
used at multiple sites. It is not possible to program Motorola/APCO-25 and EDACS
systems into the same channel storage bank.
