I want to program P25 Phase 1 (FDMA) Lower Rio Grande Valley Regional Radio System. Here is the link.
Lower Rio Grande Valley Regional Radio System (LRGVRS) Trunking System, Varies, Texas - Scanner Frequencies

There's nothing special, just program it like any other trunked system. What scanner?

My scanner is a Pro-106. Do I just program it as a P25 trunking system.

Set it as P25 auto, enter the control channel freqs, and enter talkgroups.

As a general recommendation I'd program all the frequencies we have identified in the database. The ONLY reason I say that is because a control channel can be switched at anytime and if the other frequencies aren't programmed in the scanner is useless until you figure out that new control channel frequency (which isn't hard) but why risk missing something good?

Glad you got a digital scanner finally al95, when you're ready, pm me and we'll get you to identify some digital federal frequencies (which you can probably figure out on your own). I'd start with the fed frequencies for San Antonio, Houston, etc.

I owned this scanner for last two years or so I also have the BCD369T. You can PM those frequencies any time. I have some federal frequencies programmed into my scanner.
