My question is a general one about entering frequencies and id numbers into a scanner, mainly how am I supposed to arrange them?
I bought a Uniden BCT8 trunking scanner, and I've been searching this forum for my question with no luck. We have 2 tower locations here in Wilmington, NC., and I was wondering if I should combine all the freqs. into one bank, or do they need to be separated into different banks?
Also, I understand that I have 5 "banks", with 5 "lists" inside each bank. I wanted to put all of my fire in one bank, ems in another, and police and sheriff into a few more. But when I have all of those banks selected, and go into the trunking mode, the only id's that I pick up, are the ones in the 1st bank. Does this mean that I can only enter id's into the one bank, and scan only that bank?
Basically, how do I set up a trunking scanner to get the most use out of all the banks and lists?
Thanks for any help that you can give me,
Michael
