need help

[jclomi]

I am brand new to these rooms and got my scanner today and just need some help on programming the talkgroups I have in programme in. I dont have a computer but a web tv and also i manually programmed all talkgroups in my area and there are a lot of them Sometimes I can see the numbers in my mot mode and other times in my id question do I have it set up right and am I actually trunking or just conventionally using my scanner? One more question it seems like in the day time there is a lot more traffic with taxis and golf courses do some police stations use the same talkgroups id. I tried to read up on info as much as possible but just frustrated I think I have it but then it seems like it dont.

Thanks for any help
Jeff

First which scanner do you have? If it is a 92,93,95,96, or 97 it sounds like the banks are in the open mode and will show a + under the band number. You need to closed the bank and have it show a - under the number. press man then go to the bank you want then it depnds on which radio you have
For the 92 - function 2
For the 93, 95, and 96 it is function 5
For the 97 it is function then the Delay (.) key

Welcome to the forum, Jeff.

What's your location ? We could have a peek at the database and see
what you're trying to listen to.
I'm sure the are some 9 to 5 users on that system, like golf courses , etc...but I would think that each group would have a unique talk group. I can't imagine the police sharing with anyone else but other Emergency Services.

Get back to us with your radio model number and location, and we can
take it from there.

Hey
Thanks for thereply that did the trick and I closed all my banks which works even better and by the way it is a Pro 95. Im here in SC and it seems like they are using the Motorolo type 2 system
