Confirmed LCN

[WBAD1053]

I'm looking at a LTF trunked system here on the site, and they state that there is a confirmed LCN. Where can I find out where it is displayed on the site. I'm new to LTR trunking.

The freqs. Nozzlenut listed MUST go into those exact channels in you scanner.
If you use bank 5, they would go into channels 512 through 520. That's assuming you have a somewhat standard scanner.
The talk groups you need are listed on that RR link.
The ambulances are 0-02-010 & 0-14-010. There are also EMS talk groups you may want.

I have a BC785D. Do I need to put each unit into the scanner in order to hear it? I'm assuming yes, otherwise I'd hear all those taxis and such. DickH had mentioned that there were EMS talk groups that I may want. Can I put in just the talk group and hear all the radios on the EMS group?

. Yes but scan in ID SCAN mode,

DickH had mentioned that there were EMS talk groups that I may want. Can I put in just the talk group and hear all the radios on the EMS group?

As in above, in ID SCAN only programmed talkgroups will be heard while ID SEARCH will track all ID's used by system.
