Hi group,
I am a new owner of a 396XT and am really enjoying it along with learning about the SmartZone system infrastructure in Wake County and beyond. Using Freescan (which is a great app) I programmed in all that I want to listen to in my area for now. However, I see that many people in this forum seem do more than just listen to what they have programmed--they are trying to "discover" other TGIDs and/or different trunked systems all together.
My question is what process do you use to "hunt" these down? Do you run in ID SEARCH mode and see what TGIDs pop-up that do not show up in the DB for a particular system? Do you monitor the 800MHz band for frequencies not familar? Do you leave your scanner hooked up for a day letting a program like Trunk88 log all the data?
I'm just wanting to move beyond passive listening in this hobby and really find what's out there. What's your process for accomplishing that?
Thanks in advance!
Brent
