Hello, I bought a Realistic Pro 2055 scanner from ebay and it will be arriving soon. I have been reading up on how to use the trunk programming aspect of it but I am still confused. I have a premium membership with Radio Reference so would it be possible to get help with trunking programming? I live in Rhode Island and the specific page on Radio Reference lists a bunch of trunking details for Providence and statewide communications via 800mhz. I am just unsure how to enter certain "codes" to get the trunking working. As far as I know the State Police, Providence Police, State Transportation, Prison, National Grid all use separate "groups" with "ID numbers"......confusing. I did read on here somewhere that to program this data you need to find the specific page for your area and enter certain frequencies and other numbers. I live pretty much in the middle of the state with pretty decent coverage. Can you have a bank with regular analog frequencies and another separate bank with trunking? My goal is to set up a bank with local fire/rescue, another bank with aircraft, another bank with trunking systems. Most towns in the state are still analog and some Police depts have gone digital but for the most part mostly still analog around here with exception of alot of the state agencies which have gone to trunking or digital.
