In general...
After programming a channel for each of the frequencies in use, enable two slot promiscuous mode.
Channel needs CC, TG and TS, but any one will do. Promiscuous mode will show the correct information when they transmit assuming encryption is not used. I'm not sure how well the 878 will do on a trunked system. Others likely to chime in with more/better information.

Be sure to select digital when programming and the color code helps but you can set the talk group to "any". I've been monitoring local law enforcement over 4 years on my 868uv and recently upgraded to an 878UVII plus. The reception is great even in the hills of Arkansas! I also just added the Nagoya NA 701 8 inch whip and it's a big improvement.

I’m late seeing this thread, but if you’re still having trouble I can look at your codeplug (or send you a sample). I am not in range of Crawford county, but I have an 878 that I’ve programmed for plenty of business/public safety DMR stuff with good success. As long as they’re not encrypted and you’re in range, the 878 should work fine.
