Morrise Code MEANS? AND help

[Croaker90]

What does it mean when you hear morrise code on your scanner?


I am also looking for help on my Pro-97 Trunking 1000 channel channer.

I need someone with a Pro-97 scanner to help me understand how to trunk, and I would like it if they could walk me threw it with them in a email (instant messangers?) I can't understand the owners manual.


I want to be able to pick up some "Digital" freqs. with my Pro-97 (a Police Officer said I can pick them up talking sometimes) but I can't understand trunking.


I would really like any help.

Thanks!

Many systems transmit the required identification in Morse code.

Some digital systems use analog on some of the talkgroups, but for the most part, you will need a digital scanner to pick up digital systems.

Croaker90,

One thing you might do, is go to www.starrsoft.com and download WIN 97. It's a really good programming software for the PRO 97. With the software it's really a matter of just filling in the blanks.

Having the software to program your scanner will make it easier to see how frequencies and talk-groups work together.

I owned a PRO 97 for a couple of years, so if I can be of more help, I use Yahoo Messenger, and your welcome to message me. My id is - 'ceasley76' without the quotes.

Here's a great version of the Pro-97 manual: http://myweb.cableone.net/marksscanners/97/97.html

As CE mentioned, get the WIN97 software and the interface cable from Radio Shack (Cat. 20-047 http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...le+usb&kw=scanner+cable+usb&parentPage=search ). You won't regret it.

Morse Code is often used as a method of identifying the transmitter. Identifying the transmitter is (usually) required by the FCC.

You have come to the right place.

Trunking can be a complex subject. Some information can be found here:

I am sorry to tell you that the PRO 97 CAN NOT receive/decode any digital signals. You must purchase a scanner capable of digital decoding in order to receive digital signals. The PRO-97, can, however, receive analog signals just fine.

You should read the forums on this site, read the Wiki (web link above) and then Re-read the users manual that came with your PRO-97. Once you have spent a few hours reading (and re-reading) you may have some specific questions for the users of the forums.

I learn something new every day I scan! Its part of the excitement of the hobby.

That means that someone paged "morrise's" code...

Now, if you mean Morse code, that's a whole different subject.

try that, it's not hard at all.
