This one is baffling me. I received the Pro-163 scanner this weekend and set it up using ARC300 for Osceola County, Florida.

Last night it was working fine, it was recognizing all the talk group ID's and scanning through just fine. This morning, it shows scanning through but it will not stop on any transmissions. If I go through manual it will pickup transmissions just fine.

After starting over programming it again, I noticed when trunking is not selected, it scans and works like it is supposed to, but does not show the alpha tags for the talkgroups. If I select trunking (MOT) it scans but doesn't stop. I'm not sure what is going on, any suggestions?

Here are a few screenshots of the ARC300 screens:

There are 22 freqs. listed in the database and you only show 17 in your scanner.

All that is needed for you to monitor the system, is the four (4) red CC's that are listed here on radio reference. You do not need to put all of the frequencies into the scanner.

You also need to get rid of the Search mode under the PL/DPL boxes for the trunking frequencies. Not sure what that would do to the decode. Main reason that I use Win97 to program my 163. Less to look at and make a mistake with.
