Directions Difficult
The directions given by the radio shack manual is very unclear about how to program in trunked talkgroups. It took me over 2 years to figure it out. The basic steps are this:
1. Program in all the frequencies (do them in the order they are listed)
ex. xxx.xxxx (851.1551)
2. Press SCAN and then TRUNK.
3. There should be a scrolling text that pops up on the screen and says SCAN ID.
4. From here you can push PROG and then you will see something like
-- ---
5. To program this, type in this:
ex. Chicago is on a Motorola Type II system. Say you wanted to program in the Chicago Auto Theft Unit (Detective Division) To do this, you will need to type in:
type in 29200. After that, press E until the small E in the upper right hand corner of the screen is blinking, or turns to an M.
I hope this helps, I'm not to familiar with how to program in Motorola Type II talkgroup ID's. While I have done this on vacation, Lynchburg is an EDACS system so I am a little more familiar with this system.
