trunking

I just got a PRO-164 scanner today and had the trunking channels set up at radio shack. The link to the trunking channels for my area is Scanner Frequencies: Sheboygan County Trunking System, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. However when i listen to the channels i hear nothing no static or any sign of...

Saturday morning Falmouth PD went from their conventional 800mhz over to 800 trunk system that is being used by most of Cape Cod public safety. About a month ago, the radio tech were checking their ID on the system. Just recently, they were checking Yarmouth PD`s too. I keep all of the IDs if...

HELP, I have a Maxon TM-4800 and I want to program it. No one seems to have the software for this radio. I contacted Maxon now Midland and they said that they don't keep software for a radio this old. I bought it new in the box it sat in a radio shops shelf until it went out of business. It's a...

Last week I stopped hearing Salem Fire. They are on a Motorolla Type II system. I still hear every body else on the system just fine. When a Salem Fire talk group ID appears there is no sound and when checking to see whick freq. they are on it jumps back and forth between the contol freq. and...

I have a Maxon TM-4800 800 trunking mobile that I would like to put in my car. I am a Process server and use a handset right now. I use it to keep in what's going on around me so I don't run into something going on while serving civil Warrants plus my office also uses 800 trunking to keep in...

Hi, New here! I have 3 Scanners & don't know what to do with them. I used to listen to the police and Ambulances(EMS), as I was a Paramedic in the U.S. Army, but all this trunking stuff is still confusing to me. I did learn a little about it ,but that was about 10 years ago. Are there any...

I have a new in the box Maxon TM-4800 mobile 800 trunking radio and not only find any info on it but can not find the software to program it. It's a nice looking radio and I have contacted a few radio dealers but no one seems to have the software. Can anyone out help me? Thanks Howard

I'm considering purchasing a digital-capable scanner such as the Uniden BC396t, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it at this point. Is there any digital traffic on UCAN? Also, if the so-called digital support is for APCO-25 systems, would that even apply to UCAN since it's a Motorola...

I have a BCD 396T scanner. I live in Colorado where the fire dept I work for uses the P25 statewide system. I am having trouble getting my head around the correct programming method for this system and my scanner. I have the correct channel trunk ID's and have them programmed. As I...

Asking for a railfanning friend here in CHO, he says around Richmond when monitoring CSX, sometimes it seems like when the train talks to disp they will come back on different freqs. I'm wondering (since I don't know) if he is just hearing 2 different freqs as used by road/dispatch or if, as he...

OK, so I can program regular frequencies on my Pro-97, however, I'm confused as to how to put the actual trunking frequencies in. On the trunking page (located at Scanner Frequencies: Saint Mary's County Trunking System, Saint Mary's County, Maryland) it lists 10 regular frequencies above the...

Has anyone been successful setting up an ltr system using Idylltek's LT8R controller? If, so did you come across talkgroups interfering with one another, and how did you correct this?

I live in Garfield county in CO. The problem is that I can hear the base talking but only garble from the patrol cars. I have a Pro-96 handheld from radio shack. Any help?

Can anyone please offer me easy step-by-step directions on how to program everything relating to Hanover County's Trunked Radio Systems? I'm so confused with how to even program this scanner. I've tried understanding the manual that I have for it but it doesn't make any sense. Any help would...

So I purchased a Pro-164 and used the Win-97 software to upload the FTW Public Safety and around 150 different DEC ID's. Sometimes I get MOT: 07664 (or other numbers) and sometimes I get the actual tag i.e. South Division. The banks can store 150 different DEC ID's. However, I am wondering...

Good Afternoon - I am making several trips to NHC over the next month and have been monitoring quite extensively! I am trying to tighten down the TRS as it displays in the database and if anyone here can provide assistance with that I would appreciate it! I am going to clean the formatting...

Hey All, and thanks in advance for the help, I've reprogrammed my PRO-93 this morning with Davis County frequencies each 15 lower than the old frequencies, and it's not working. When in trunking mode, the scanner seizes on the control channel 852.83750, flashes familiar talk group IDs for...

I live near the RDU airport and have been unsuccessful monitoring Duke University. In the Reference file no frequency is highlighted as a control channel and my BCD996T doesn’t detect a control channel on any of the frequencies. Could it be I am just too far away from that system to monitor it?
