This post deals solely with the Carrollton TX public safety trunked system as this is the only system Ive ever encountered this, but Im putting it in general scanning both because of what happened and to see if anyone else has had something similar occur.
I just got back from a movie and came into my room to find my Pro-94 playing the good ole machine gun tune of "Motorola Trunked System Control Channel." It was interesting to note though that it HAD NOT exited trunk mode. In fact, it was actually displaying a talkgroup ID. Unfortunately in my haste to cut off the noise I failed to remember the exact talk group ID.
I do remember the first two digits of the number being 16 though. Trouble is, all the talk groups in Carrollton's system begin with a 49, 50, 51 or 52.
I do know for a fact that it was still in trunk mode because I hit "SCAN" instead of "Trunk" to make the noise stop.
So anyone else ever heard of this? Or have an explanation of what it was?
