Make sure you have programmed the bank in EDACS trunking mode.

Start only at channel 1, or the first channel of whatever bank you choose.
Enter all the frequencies in order from LCN 01 to LCN 15 (as published in the data base).

It sounds like you are entering the MAIN site for Ottawa.

If you put them mid-bank for convenience sake, it won't trunktrack.

Hit the SEARCH button and the ID's should pop up.

Yes, choose the ones you want if you want customized scan lists.

That way, when you hit scan you will only hear those ones that you want as opposed hearing to all services talkgroups.

it shows 15 frequencies and the another 10, I take it I add the 15 to bank one and then the other 10 to bank 2, now once I start keying in the talk groups is there any special way of doing tis as I have 2 banks with frequencies?

The easiest way to accomplish it would be using scanning software like ARC 8 and cut and paste exactly what you want.

If you live near the MAIN site just put in the 15 LCN's, If you want WEST put those 10 in another bank.
Please note that Police and Airport are on Provoice digital and can't be monitored with any scanner even if it is P25 digital capable.
