The FCC maintains a 4 character Class Station Code and a description of what it means. There are 13 that refer to Trunk Relay something or Trunk Mobile something. It's located in FR (frequencies) tables. I was wondering which of the trunk type frequencies would get me hooked up to unknown trunking setups on my Uniden SDS200? Any ideas?

You are generally correct however sometimes the FCC places a suffix (a 4th designator) at the end. Interconnection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) first comes to mind. So a FB2, mobile relay station with interconnection to the PSTN becomes FB2C. Another would be a temporary location station, such as FB2T, FXOT (operational fixed station at a temporary location) etc.

correct, however I was taught those are modifiers or a Suffix
T = Temp
I = Itinerant
C = Phone Patch or interconnect
