New and need MUCH Help

[GunnDawg]

Alright guys I just bought a new Pro-96 Scanner because I was told that the local police department here has an updated system and I needt his updated scanner to hear them. I do not know there frequeincies or anything and I know NOTHING about Digital Trunking. I live in McMinnville, Oregon. If you could please find the frequeincies I need and also tell me how to program it. That would be great. Thanks.

I searched for you, and I cannot find any info on a digital or trunked system in McMinnville, Oregon.

GunnDawg, what county is that?

 

[Dubbin]

what county is that?

Yamhill County

 

[GunnDawg]

Yah its the Yamhill county in Oregon. My old scanner cannot pick them up because They have a new system so I got the new Pro-96 which should be here via UPS any minute. My bud says its gonna be a pain to set up and so im looking for a little reference. What do you all think ? I cannot even find a McMinnvile, Oregon Police frequency, I guess if someone could find that for me then that might be a start. I dont know.

 

[mlevin]

Hmm, no info is submitted for yamhill. Another source that I know of is the Police Call. You can pick up a copy off of www.scannermsater.com I don't know of any other good source. You could always google. I've got mediocre results in the past using that method. Other then that a service search when you get the scanner, and do some detective work.

According to this page Yamhill County uses an MPT1327 trunked radio system in the 460 MHz band. There are no trunktracking scanners for MPT1327, although there is at least one computer-based utility floating around that can decode data from the system.

If you do a Google search for "yamhill county trunked" or "mcminnville trunked" you will get some relevant links.

The system is already on this site listed as "Yamhill Communications Agency (YCOM)" on the Yamhill County page.

So does this mean I will NOT be able to listen to them or what ?

 

[ericcarlson]

One of the four channels should have a constant data noise on it. The other 3 will be used for voice conversations. You can put the voice frequencies in your scanner and scan them like regular conventional frequencies. You will not be able to tell (directly) which talkgroup you are listening to at any given time but you should at least hear the audio (assuming there is no encryption being used).

What do you mean I will not be able to tell who it is. All I want to do is put in the freq. into the scanner and have it auto scan so whenever police/dispatcher talk is going on. I will be able to hear them.

Hi
Here is what I found and I listed it here.
You might as well plug all these freqs in dog ,and see what develops you might be or you might be :x but you gotta put them in first and listen for a while before you get results,remember ROME was not built in a day,so have patience and try these out,you don't need to set up the trunking yet,just listen and see if any activity is present and if it is then you got a fish on the line and real it in and start reading the manual on how to set up the trunking etc etc etc yadda yadda yadda.

How do I jsut enter a frequency to try it out.

 

[GunnDawg]

Ok I turned it on and hit the Srch Button until I saw Police/Fire on the display screen and I can hear people talking. But every once in awhile I have to hit the Up arrow because it will hang on this really loud Buzzing noise. I cant tell if this is the police or the sheriff. the sheriff do not have the new system set up... So I dont know...

 

[mciupa]

Pages 30 and 32 in the owner's manual will explain how to enter the freq.'s that were listed above.

 

[GunnDawg]

What do you guys suppose it is I am hearing on the Police/Fire pre-programed deal when I hit the SRCH button?

how to program

read your manual, then read it again, then if you think you understand some of it, read it again. then a fourth time, and you still will not totally understand it. it takes quite awhile to figure out the scanner. but once you do you wont be disappointed....i'm still trying to figure out the talk group thing. but maybe i will understand that in time, i've only had my pro96 two weeks.....good luck...

Ok I figured out how to program freq. into banks. How do I set it to auto scan thru my bank of freq. that I set up.
