Hey everyone, Dave here. I just got a used Pro 2096 and had it professionally programmed. The lady that works at the local radio shack did a great job with all the frequencies and it seems to work great. I have the manual AND have read as much as one can possibly absorbe on here. I know it gets the trunked charleston, dorchester and summerville (South Carolina) city stuff. My question is on the display, or more specifically the alpha tags. I have figured out how program and tag regular frequencies like the local airport and stuff. My difficulty is with the trunked stuff. For example, all of the trunked stuff stops on Bank 4 channel 10. I would guess that she programmed this as the control channel. I think anyway. Anyway EVERY time someone uses the trunking system it ALWAYS stops on Bank 4 channel 10 but the frequency changes and the dispatcher is different. Regardless I catch ALL the trunked conversations on bank 4 channel 10. My question is this. I noted that there are 5 digit numbers on the bottom row of alpha tags. I have counted 15 different sets of digits. I have also figured out some are the electric company, some are EMS and some are police. How can I, or is there a way to Alpha tag the display to tell me who each set of 5 digit numbers represents? I have figured out 4 or 5 of them and would like to have it display who they are. It may be different for trunked stuff, but on the regular channels if you Alpha tag a channel it says the same thing every time it stops. Is there a way for the Alpha tag to say who it is since each 5 digit number stops on the same bank and channel? I know this sound complicated but I am making this as simple as I can.....I think....Thanks for any advice...and hopefully it can be explained where this old retired Air Force flight engineer can understand it....Thanks in advance...Dave
