Pro 2052 Truking Problems

[WQOQ867]

I have a pro 2052 that I am have problems with trunking on. I am trying to program a 800 MHz Motorola type 2 system into it. I have put in all the frequencies that are listed for the sites near me including the control channels. I also added talk groups. It is just making a nasty static sound. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks

Is the system you're wanting to scan rebanded? If so, the 2052 doesn't support the rebanded 800 tables, so it won't trunk correctly.

Is your squelch adjusted properly?
What system are you trying to monitor?
Your scanner may work on rebanded systems depending on the frequencies.

True; if the system's frequencies all have a '5' in the fourth decimal position it may work with just a bit of reprogramming. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, since we don't know what system(s) the OT is trying hear...

Did you check out the Easier to Read guide, or the programming cheat sheets we have linked in our wiki? Their links can be found here...

The Pro 2052 will not pick up MCSO, you will need a digital capable scanner.

He could if he wanted to be extra daring and discriminator tap that sucker and then run Win DSD...

Been meaning to try that with an old 895 I have sitting around, but I've just been too busy.
