PSR-600 and APCO 25

[gear-head]

Just got the 600 and this is my first taste of a digital trunk. The documentation that comes with the scanner is crap, so, I have two questions:

I want to program a Trunking Object (I'm using PSREdit)

The database shows:
501.21250c
501.23750
501.66250c
501.71250

1) Do I enter all, or just the control frequencies?
2) If I enter them all, does it make any difference what order they are in?

Thanks.

1) Just the control channels.

2) No.

To expand: in PSR-500/-600 speak, there is no such thing as a "trunking object." First you have to program a "trunked system." (It so happens this takes up 10 objects, but you don't have to worry about that.) A trunked system consists of the control channels, a format (such as 800 SmartZone or Astro), and perhaps channel plan.

After programming a trunked system, you can then program "talkgroup objects," where each object is a talkgroup on that trunked system.

Excellent, thanks very much.
