How to Set Frequency

[bedman]

I am using Yaesu VX-5 and want to monitor 859.6375, but that is a lot of channel in us.
How can i select the one of channel to monitor?
I had try to set SQL Type Tone, Tone SQL and DCS, also is can do it.
Please help!

From Hong Kong Man, I am a new radio user and no radio knowledge.

If it is a trunking system your Yaseu Vx-5 may not trunk. Unless the freq is a Conv channel than it could be sql or dcs or csq=open tone.

Thanks Bravo14, can you tell me more about Trunking system and what solution can monitor one channel in one frequency.

Trunking is a system that one freq that is called a control channel. You can use up some many talk groups to it instead have 20 freq's channels. If you are in Hong Kong I'm not sure how that works over there. You can listen in on that radio but not able to track the talk group(s). There is scanner(s) will do digital/analog 800-900 systems. Depending on what scanner you get you most of them you can do by key programing or by computer software.

Here is a example on the 800 trunking system

Thanks again Bravo14, I will go out to look for a scanner, hopefully that can be use.
I checked the scanner database for Hong Kong Airport frequency. they don't have any talk group(s) in the list. If I success scan the talk group(s), I will update the database for other user.
