I've got a PRO-97, and want to program San Bernardino Co. Sheriff's Dept to it.
I found their frequencies here:
San Bernardino, County of (Public Safety) 01 Trunking System, Victorville, California - Scanner Frequencies

However, I'm very confused on how to program them.
I really only want the Victorville (Victor Valley) frequencies to come up...

I followed some online sites and programed the "system frequencies" into bank 7 of my scanner.
Went in to FUNC + TRUNK, selected "MOT: None", and then entered "304", then hit UP, then "336" and up, and so on and so on.

After doing all that, nothing is coming up.
Where did I screw up?
I'm pretty new to this whole trunking concept.. I've been listening to LASD forever and never had any problems!

I'm not familiar with your model of scanner, but 2 suggestions right off the bat:

Make sure you can hear the control channel (seems obvious, but you never know).:lol:

Also, this system is a splinter system (meaning that the frequencies are not part of the normal 800 bandplan). There might be another setting to make it work with a splinter besides "MOT". Check the manual and see what it says and that might do the trick.
