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

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.

for the channel (see
"Assigning a Text Tag to a
Channel" on Page 45).
When you are ready to program
additional channels, press
to move up to the next channel
memory location, or
down.

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. See
"Trunking Special Features" on
Page 83.
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
Ó
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.
