Pro-96 and trunking system
Hello all,
To some, this might be a VERY basic question but I need it answered and I obviously do not know the answer (or understand how to do it after reading the manual).
I have a PRO-96 and a registered copy of Win96 as well as a subscription to RR.
I want to monitor the Riverside County Sheriff's Department in Riverside CA. I would like to pick up their entire system (it is an 800 MHZ EDACS trunked system).
When I go to program it by importing the channels and talk groups from RR to Win96, all the confusion begins. Like I said before, I want the entire system. First of all, RR Win96 gives me all kinds of errors about "you are importing 176 talk groups and a scanner bank only holds 150...etc" then another one about "you are importing 10 sites and the LCN must match to the scanners banks, etc..."
Maybe I'm not well versed on how talk groups work and how to program this scanner so I can scan the TGs I want and lock out the rest. I understand the theory about the "control" channel and basic TG stuff but setting this thing up is tough. I also understand about the LCN matching up with the scanner channels... ( a little).
Can anyone help? I don't mind wiping out all the memories on this scanner to set it up the way I have mentioned above. There isn't much in it already as it is a new scanner.
Another funny thing happens ... I programmed the scanner with some of Riverside's channels and when I scan, after every transmission, I hear a "beep beep beep beep" before the channel releases... causing the next transmission to be cut off unless I hit SCAN real quick. Is this some kind of control tone for the system? is there anyway to cut it off?
Thanks for your help!
