Pro-2052 trunking

[dajdog]

Need help with programming trunking freqs. They are type II. This is a first for me but I am very diligent but have ran into a brick wall every time while trying to program.

I have seen those and followed their steps exactly. It is when the say I should hit the SEARCH button while scanning my trunked bank and that should start scanning for IDs. It doesn't do that instead it goes to a normal search and has the original limit search that I had done preveously on convitional????

Last night I was talking on the phone with a person in Louisiana who has the newer version of the 2052 and it may be that step 10 (see quote below) could be wrong for the new scanner.

10. When completed press TRUNK twice, your bank should be flashing on the top left.
11. Press SEARCH,
You should now see ----- on the display until the scanner stops on a conversation. Then if
the system type is E2-800/900 Motorola, the display will show from 2 to 5 numbers, which is
an ID. If type I or IIi it may list XXX-XX, if EDACS it may be XX-XXX.

Try a single TRUNK in step 10, then SEARCH for the new scanner.

2052 same problem

i have the same problem i tried the same step as frank wrote but with the same results can somebody help please i need someone to walk me through it

Shellman,

I have taken advantage of the 100 buck deal and purchased the new scanner so that I can compare the two. Review page 27/28 in the new manual for trunking. Trunk programming is the same for both scanners, the only difference is the conventional, which I found to be cumbersome when in the same bank with trunking.

Please post your results back.

thanks frank for reply i have tried several times with the same results i cant get past that step,if you have time could u walk me through it iam pretty new to this but i can follow on what buttons to push shellman98 aka. mitch

 

[fmon]

Were you successful with steps 1 through 6 on page 27? If not, which step failed?

 

[shellman98]

yes i can put in the freqs, but its after that all goes wrong

 

[fmon]

Did you hear the noise of a control freq?

 

[shellman98]

let me load the freqs again

 

[shellman98]

ok im in bank 2 i entered e2 800 ok last freq entered hit e now what

 

[fmon]

Did any of the freqs have a buzzing noise after you hit E? If not, you are too far from the transmitter tower to trunk scan the system, or you missed a frequency. What system are you programming...City/County State?

 

[shellman98]

the town is only 10 miles its motorola trpe,II smartnet ceres calif. stanislaus county

 

[shellman98]

after e no noise

 

[fmon]

That is your problem, no control channel. All trunk scanners must be able to acquire the duty Control Channel, and you are too far from it or do not have the correct frequency. What system are you trying to program?

 

[shellman98]

motorola type II smartnet freqs are 866.0875 867.0875 867.9625 868.9625 t group 16048
