Welcome to the RadioReference forums. We have a variety forums on here to choose from so it's important to post your question or request to the proper forum to get the best answer. At the top of the busy forums are Stickies which guide you where to post your question. I've moved your post from the General Scanning forum to this one as it's most applicable. In GenScan is a sticky (below) that helps with where to post. Please make note. Thanks.

Take a look at this software, it's free, I will make programing that scanner allot easier, if you have the programing cable.

If you want to try it by hand, this manual may be helpful.

Actually FreeScan is a much better package for programming - it's laid out better and the quick key settings are easier to understand. We also host the user manual in our wiki - and they're both linked from here (anything in blue is a link)

In a trunking situation, talkgroups are shared among many frequencies, and in general, not associated with only 1 frequency. I'd read the links in the overview section of:
