Okay.... I've tried "display mode" 1, 2, and 3, and no luck. When programming, I downloaded the information for the systems from this site's database and all the information apparently is there, just probably something I didn't know to do (the manual doesn't seem to cover anything about programming in much detail, or I just didn't read it).
Here's kinda what I'm seeing on FreeSCAN
[MOT2] HarrisCntyRgnalR
[GRP] BrazoriaCnty-Fre[2]
Then on Group & Channel Options- trunked system
Display TGID
Freeport PD1 26576
etc...
When scannining all I get is the group (Freeport) and the Tag ID Number (26576), but no aplha showing which department. The Group (Freeport) is actually the city is where the tower and repeater are located not the PD. There are several other departments working off that same tower. If this was for me the alpha tags wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it's a present for my 81 year old dad who is not too techno savy.
I've programmed several scanners but this one has been the hardest. Thanks for all your help.
