We recently got a police scanner from Frys electronics.
and after all the hidden costs (usb to serial cable + software to program it) of it we finally have everything we need to start programing it.
I loaded up the ARC program and have been grappling with it for a good 5 hours.
If anyone could point me to some detailed guides on fully configuring a frequancy and trunk the said frequency that would be awesome.
i am not getting the whole truncated thing. On one hand I have seen in a few wikis from this site that you dont have to program the trunks, just the control.
yet in the extremely crappy manual for the ARC program it says that you have to for the scanner to trunk the signals correctly.
I have tried a few different things, but nothing seems to work.
this is what the trunk page looks like:
