Having Trouble with Ontario Fleetnet APCO Tracking w/PRO96

[elyps]

Thanks in advance for any help on this--I've had a PRO 96 scanner for the last 6 weeks and have programmed single and multiple control channels for my local sites, i.e. Edgar, Penetang...with the proper talkgroups loaded and running my bank as "closed." I receive nothing. The only way I receive anything is to load the whole list of all talk channels as FM, NOT Motorola...and then I get all the analog and digital talkgroups active on the local channels.

Does anybody perhaps have a detailed list of how to program this from the keypad or a WIN96 file that I can load...I'm trying to isolate Collingwood 534, Barrie 533, and Huronia West 536 talkgroups for OPP and eliminate everything else.

APCO tracking /PRO96

The freq. you should have programed in are here :
http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=TRSDB&sid=861
Also note Custom Frequency Table
Base: 141.015
Spacing: 15.0
Offset: 380
Your scanner has to be set to these also .
You should try it in open mode also and see if that helps .

The bank needs to be set up in Table mode, which it would need to operate on a VHF system.

Move to the bank you want to change, Press Pgm, trunk, func, 3

Make sure that you are set for MO

Then you need ot make sure that you are set up as the others said.

SET FOR OFFSET SPACING AND TABLE

WHILE SCANNING BANK YOU HAVE SET FOR TRUNKING SAY BANK 1 HIT

PGM> TRUNK

FUNC > 2 AND TYPE IN

141.01500 & ENTER

NEXT TYPE IN

380 & ENTER

FOR THE STEP SIZES USE THE ARROW KEYS TO FIND THE ONE THAT YOU NEED

15.00 & PRESS ENTER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEXT YOU WOULD HIT THE FUNC 3 BUTTON AND

USE THE UP- DOWN ARROW KEYS TO FIND TABLE AND PRESS ENTER. YOU ARE SET TO GO.
