I don't believe there are any scanners on the market that are capable of monitoring a MotoTRBO system.

Ok I have almost gotten this down how to program this scanner BCD396xt I think butttttt I went to put in Staley's Communications and I see its DMR Motorola Connect Plus (TRBO) so im asking would it be Motorola Type II SmartZone conventional or ?

TRBO is a Motorola proprietary digital system. No scanners currently support it.

But, if you go to the Digital Voice Decoding Software forum they may have software that you can install on a PC in conjunction with your scanner to decode it. Here's a link:
Digital Voice Decoding Software - The RadioReference.com Forums

TRBO is a Motorola proprietary digital system.

Connect Plus and Capacity Plus trunking is Motorola proprietary but plain old TRBO is just DMR which is not proprietary.

Because of that, you can use any vendors DMR capable radio to listen.

No, as previously reported, no scanner will be able to monitor the system.

You either need to use DSD or buy a commercial DMR radio.
