On my Radio Shack Pro 106 scanner i am getting these flashing letters ( pTCH ) in my display window when ever i get traffic for my LV CO FD / EMS & no other channels, what are these letters for OR what is it telling me ?

Just a wild guess, but if it's a trunking talkgroup, it may be telling you that it's a talkgroup "PaTCH".
Unless features were added and they did not update the manual or Marks Scanners manual, pTCH does not yield any results. Patch does but only when cloning and of course, anytime the word dispatch is used.
What firmware version are you running? All I could find was this:
wiki.radioreference.com
CPU 1.8 fixes
- Adds patch support for P25, Motorola and EDACS trunking
Pro-106 and Pro-197 CPU/DSP Upgrades - The RadioReference Wiki

"ptch" in place of "TGRP" means that the current transmission is a patch of another talkgroup.
