Hi I am wondering if anyone could help me out I have a pro-197 I programmed all the freqs for Troop E as they were listed on RR, however its not trunking correctly. I am wondering is that frequancy list correct? the radio is Trucking but i only hear voice on 852.16250. I know I have something set up wrong because that is the only freq I hear anything on, and oftein times i am only reciveing half of the conversation.

Sounds like it is programmed as a regular system and not a rebanded system. What programming software are you using (if any)? On my BCD396T using FreeScan, I entered the following as the System Band Plan and set it to Mot Custom/Reband Type II:

Lower / Upper / Step / Offset
851.025 / 854.000 / 25 / 440
851.0125 / 868.9875 / 25 / 0

Also, be sure you have the newest firmware (1.9).

I am useing butels, and I am useing the control CH to track everything, I am not really sure how to program rebanded, i just programmed without rebanding in mind

I have a Pro 197, but I don't have it set up for CT SP as it's my base scanner up here in MA. However, I did use ARC500 and the RR download to create a system so I could give you some information.

The system I set up uses ALL base stations in ROAM configuration.

Multi Site is set to "ROAM" and Check all CC is set to NO. T-Tables is set to "Custom". System Type is set to MOT 800/900.

Remember with trunking you need to have the frequencies and the talk groups set up for the system to trunk correctly.

Do you only want to listen to Troop E or do you want to listen to as many Troops as possible. If you set up for just the Troop E site and put in the Talk Groups for the other troops in the area, you'll hear a lot more. The way the CSP system works, more than one Troops' traffic is carried on each site.

If you only want to scan the Troop E trunk, then the control channel frequencies are 853.3375
852.6250. If you enter those with the T-Table data above, you'll hear the Troop E trunk fine.

My only other advice is to get one of the available software packages for programming the scanner. It makes things much easier.

Good luck.
