Tell us which program you are using. It sounds as if the programming is wrong. If it's
trunking correctly you should never hear the control channel.
Try this to be sure the scanner is working properly.
There are 3 main sites in that system. Choose an empty bank and program the main site
as follows:
TRUNKING PROGRAMMING - PRO-163 & 164
To program a Bank for TRUNKING:
1. Press PROG, then press TRUNK.
2. Press FUNC, then use an UP or DOWN ARROW to select a bank.
3. Repeatedly press MODE to select a trunking mode (Motorola).
4. Press PROG.
5. Enter the control channel freq. 856.6625 and press ENTER.
6. Press SCAN.
Now you should start to see all active Talk Group IDs (TGs).
There are two trunking modes, OPEN and CLOSED:
OPEN lets you hear ALL active TGs
CLOSED lets you hear ONLY the TGs you have put into the SUB-BANKS.
“–” appears for CLOSED mode and “+” appears for OPEN mode under the channel number.
To set OPEN or CLOSED mode for a bank:
1. Press MAN.
2. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW to select a bank.
3. Press FUNC then •/DELAY.
