I'd leave it at the four control channels (the ones in red, also tagged with a 'c') for now. Your PSR500 doesn't need all the other frequencies, as long as you have it set for control channel only mode (and it sort of sounds like you do).

If, after a day or two, it appears that you may be missing some calls, then perhaps one of the listed control channels has been replaced by a different one. In which case, then, you may have to add all the rest of the frequencies & try to figure out what the change was. With all the frequencies, you'd catch all the calls, unless they are using a control channel not listed at all. Not likely, but remotely possible.

That is what I have in my scanner now, just the control channels. I have not had any problems with calls being missed. the only change that i see is 1 new frequency which is 854.012500. It's the alternate control channel. Thanks for the help.
