trunking

I have a XTS3000 800Mhz type 3 and I cannot listen to digital radio traffic without having to hold down the monitor button, because I cant change the trunking system options. I put the control channels on the conventional personalities and put it on mixed recieved mode, but all it does is blink...

Short question: I am trying to scan the Virginia State Police and DOT groups on the Virginia "STARS" radio system from my apartment in Fredericksburg City. I can't seem to get it to work properly and only rarely do I hear a fragment of one side of a call which usually "breaks up" and "comes in"...

anybody know if the XTS3000 has a flash code that would enable LTR trunking? I just bought one, and we use an LTR system for our radio network, it isnt necessary for me to put it in this particular radio, as i have it in my HT1550 already, but it would be nice. The current flash code doesnt do...

Hello, How do I enable the trunking features on a pro-91? Thanks, AP

This is getting very frustrating. Is there something I'm missing about this programming? I REALLY didn't expect this much trouble. I hope somebody can help me with this. Does my BC246T receive Motorola Type II Smartzone? Is there another name for it? In my manual it says MOT Type II is 800 or...

I have used this scanner for several years in a conventionl public safety system on VHF. Recently I moved to a county in Texas that has an 800 Mhz trunked system that, according to RR, may have recently been rebanded. I upgraded the firmware in the scanner to the latest version. I have located...

I just received a PRO-164 from ebay, claimed to be tested and guaranteed working. I have a PRO-95 that is working just fine (besides missing transmissions due to re-banding... why I got the 164). I have taken my bands from Win95 and transferred them into Win97 to upload to the PRO-164. I have...

Hello All! New guy here with a question regarding police scanners. Thank you in advance for any advice you provide.... I am looking to purchase a handheld police scanner as a birthday gift in the next day or two. Can anyone tell me what type of handheld scanner works best for my area (Eastern...

I have a Pro-2052 scanner and my local police just changed their radio system so the frequencies no longer work. I have the book for the scanner but I don't know if the frequencies I'm programming are wrong or I'm just doing it the wrong way. I'm looking to add channels for Shelbyville, Indiana...

I've been asking a few questions here over the past few months as I've been trying to understand and evaluate trunked mobile systems. One neat thing is that I've been able to play with a few Aeroflex test sets and motorola handsets with CPS software. Generally I have to get the settings to match...

Hi, I just bought my PRO-106 and programmed it with WIN500 using RadioReference. I'm monitoring a Motorola Type II APCO25/analog mix trunking system. Everything works fine however, occasionally a APCO25 talkgroup will come on but there's no audio. The transmission lasts long enough to make...

Hello All, Would a radio with the following features included in its flashcode work on a 3600 baud mixed-mode system, or will it only work on 9600 baud systems? Q806/G806 IMBE / APCO-25 Digital Operation H14/G114 Digital ID Display H868/W969 Multikey Operation H38/G51 Smartzone Operation...

Hey guys, I'm looking to get into the police scanner hobby, and I have a few questions. I have a general understanding of what trunking is and know most police agencies in my area, and all state agencies use motorola Utah UCAN trunking. I also know that all of the Utah Highway Patrol uses UCAN...

Hi All, I am helping setup a radio infrastructure and I need some opinions as to the best way to get this done. Here is what the situation is and sorry in advanced if I ramble on a bit. This will be a 4 site system in the middle of nowhere, in the forest, so we want to go with a trunked setup...

I have been using a Pro-93 for a couple of months now, but recently it has been having difficulty reading the EDACS control channel. I can hear the control channel with no static (before this started happening, it would even decode the IDs with moderate levels of static); however, now it will...

I'm starting a thread over the largest trunked systems in the country. I want everyone's input. I believe I may have found the largest but I may be wrong. I found the Louisiana LWIN system has over 67,000 users that's my guess. Anyone with input? ADMINS IF YOU FEEL THIS IS NOT THE...

Hello, We are currently using a trunked Motorola Smartnet II radio system. Many of the system's users have went with other technology but we are currently cash strapped. Is it possible to take the five Quantar 800MHZ repeaters (model # T5365a) and make it into a five site conventional system...

So my shiny new BCD996XT arrived today, and I can't wait to get going. I've downloaded FreeSCAN and created analog system of my choice for Placer County (SAR, PCSO East & West, Auburn PD). I can't enter it into the scanner right now, however, as I'm waiting on a serial port/USB adapter. What...
