PRO-97 Trunking

[ghyn569]

I have bought a new RS PRO-97 and I'm trying to program it to monitor a trunked system.
The info I've found shows the system to be a LTR Standard and shows three frequencies. Do they have to be entered in any certain order or a particular Bank? The manual states the unit has a tool for finding the Home Repeater but I see different RXX when they display. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum.

The XX may be LCN numbers, Logical Channel Number is the channel location in the selected bank.

* The PRO-97 has a feature that will tell you what the proper channel number for an LTR system is. Program a frequency from the system in the first channel (steps 1-6), set the mode for LTR (step 7), put the scanner in manual, and when you hear a transmission, there will be a number in the lower right corner of the display like "R03" or whatever. This is the LCN (Logical Channel Number) of that frequency. If it is "R03", you would re-program that frequency into channel number x03 of whatever bank you are going to use. Continue the above procedure until you have all the numbers for all the frequencies in the system, keeping in mind that some numbers might be skipped over, example, there may be no channel R02 in your particular system.

* Note - The LTR repeater number identifer does not work when the repeater ID burst is turned off by the system administrator.

Also let us know what system you are trying to program ??
