I am new to Trunking and this is how I programed my Pro-2096:
Right out of the box I programed the V folder bank 6 and heard alot of activity, so with Win96 I copied that bank and also entered in the local Towers and County talkgroups from RR database into Banks 0 & 1.
Seems like most of the time I do not know who I am listening to? MSP, County, Local? I think it may be MSP when they will say: go Car to Car and I can no longer monitor, I have also heard: go to 2 but that could be another agency?
Today I heard a LEO give his location and he was in Flint? (over 200 mi. from my location) but came across a local Tower?
in addition to the above, I have several questions,
Programing:
I am ONLY using my Pro-2096 for Digital Monitoring ONLY, so I would like to have it optimumly programed so I hear all as possible. Please advise.
It would be nice to have Alpha Tags so I know who I am listening to, but the info in the V Folder just gives me the ch #? I wrote down all freqs, then searched RR data base, made list, but still dont know who I am listening to? & the info I programed, I see the Tower location for a alpha Tag and any talkgroup abbreviation. How do you achieve this?
Thanks much.
