Just got myself a trunking scanner (The pro-528 upgrading from the Pro-83) ,so I am kinda new to this. Am trying to manually program and tryed to do my homework..... ( I would like to do it manually- without a pc program- , even though I know its trouble.)
Where I am at.
I am trying to listen to police and emergency services in my area (LaPorte) and the surrounding communities (which are close in proximity) through the Motorola Type II 800 system. specifically from the Baytown 007 site and the Pasadena 023 site.

1. I have programmed bank 8 for trunking. I input both the primary(red) and secondary(blue) frequencies for both sites, because from my understanding that is all I need. (Under moto 800 btw)
2. I also programmed talkgroup ID's for only my local city (LaPorte) in the bank, which use both site periodically for fire/police.
Problem.
When I start my scan it seems to work fine for the two secondary frequencies picking up receptions and even coordinating comm between the lower frequency non moto II emergency frequencies I have in another bank. When the scan hits the two primary frequencies all I seem to get is static/data, which from my understanding is what frequency should be transmitting anyways.
My question is should it be sticking on this channel and transmitting static/data? Shouldnt it just be looking for my talkgroups and nothing else? I lockout the two primaries and it seems to work fine lol but I feel that I am missing something, which btw takes me to my next question.
When I scan and turn on the trunking I never see any info on talkgroups period. I know there is no alpha-tag but I would assume I would still get a number. I try holding the trunk button and switching from srch to scan but it doesnt seem to change the display or have any effect. I am receiving from the secondary frequencies but I never get any onscreen info about the talkgroup making the transmission.
I think I am sounding complicating, so sorry if I am. Any help would be appreciated.
