Just bought a new scanner and need help

[w_mark_wells]

I recently purchased a Radio Shack Triple Trunking radio scanner. I have the Police Call Volume 6 2002 editon that shows the frequencies of the agencies I would like to monitor. I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the instructions on programming the trunking. I know some agencies frequencies and have them programmed but need some assistance on the trunking part.

Here is step by step programming for a PRO-163/164. You had better check our database (top of this page) for the latest freqs.

Hi w_mark_wells , welcome to RadioReference

Which scanner do you own and what trunking system are interested in programming?

Let us know and I'm sure we can help you.

PRogramming

I would buy some software to program it. It is MUCH faster and easier.
I use WIN97 for my 164.

Here is a link to a past thread that explains how a trunking system works http://forums.radioreference.com/general-scanning-forum/90802-trunk-scanning.html

And if the system has many different tower sites, you only need to enter the freq (s) listed for the nearest tower.

Here is a link to the EDACS systems. Remember to enter in the Logical Control Numbers in the correct position (read, you will understand) http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/EDACS

P.S. I do agree that using software and your home computer makes the job almost fun.
