First off you need to know what control channels you can hear from your listening area
so search between say 768-773 MHZ and listen for control channel noise (others describe it as machine gun sound) ,strong carrier/or weak depending on area, make note of that,
than you need to see what other freqs are associated to that using this:
Maritime Public Safety Radio Network (MPSRN) Trunking System, Various, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies
than you need to input them in your software as a new p25 trunk (your handheld will do this) than scan search one bank at a time till you hear traffic.
Put them in a seperate bank each control channel you find, could only be one depending on your location ,than listen , Good luck , consider this as well as required reading for your scanner
