I was playing with the scanner today and came across something I found odd. Here is the setup:
1) Custom search band
2) Set to scan for Motorola Trunk system 840 MHz to 867 MHz locally
3) Using the Control Channel Only search
While I have searched like this numerous times, I saw something today that was new to me.
It stopped on a Motorola system I am familiar with but don't listen too since it has services I don't want to monitor. Instead of showing me the system ID, it actually showed a name, Fina Petrochem.
Here is the system I was monitoring:
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=3555
When I searched for the name, it show a system in Texas by that name and not one here in Tennessee.
I know they probably own the system, but has anyone ever seen a system actually show you a name and not a system ID? I searched the manual and found nothing about this, also is there a way for it to show the system ID instead of the name and vice versa?
Thanks in advance
