Searching A Trunked Bank; Turning A Trunked Bank On Or Off - Radio Shack PRO-94 Owner's Manual

SEARCHING A TRUNKED BANK

Once the data channel is acquired, the scanner begins a
trunk search. With the search function, you will be able
to find all the active talk groups within the trunked sys-
tem. Press
SCAN
mode from the trunk search mode. See "Scanning the
Talk Group ID Lists" on Page 50.
While scanning conventional frequencies, follow the
steps below to switch to the trunk mode after the scan-
ner finds the data channel.
1. Press
TRUNK
trunking and conventional banks.
2. Hold down
switches to the trunk scan mode.
3. Hold down
switches to the trunk search mode.
Hint: While searching, 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 avail-
able at your local RadioShack store or on internet sites
such as www.trunkscanner.com. You can also deter-
mine the type of agency you are listening to after a short
while, be it a police, fire, or emergency medical 2-way ra-
dio 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" on
Page 44. 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!
