Use Win95 and you can program in the freqs,.. make sure to set them to the proper mode, unlocked, and with the right delay settings. For basic conventional freqs-FM, for Motorola Trunking systems-MO, for EDACS Trunking systems-ED, for aircraft-AM.
Hints,.. when programming in a EDACS Trunked system, start at chan 01 in a bank, not 00, and program in proper LCN Order.
Do not use the last bank for trunking.
Example:
Conventional system in use in a town-
Mode = FM
Bank 1
Chan 00 - 155.5950
Chan 01 - 155.5350
Chan 02 - 460-5000
Chan 03 - 154.2650
Motorola Trunking
Mode = MO
Bank 2
Chan 00 - 855.0125
Chan 01 - 855.7375
*And so on,.. TG ID's you put in the special box for those.*
EDACS Trunking
Mode = ED
Bank 3
Chan 00 - Empty
Chan 01 - 866.2125 (LCN 1)
*And so forth,.. again TG ID's go in the special box for those.*
Aeronautican stuff
Mode = AM
Bank 4
Chan 00 - 121.2500
**Special Note**
If any of the frequencies/systems is using any digital modulation, you will not be able to monitor them/it.
On a Motorola ASTRO 3600 Mixed Mode you can hear the analog TG's but Not the digital.
On a Motorola ASTRO-25 fully digital system, forget it entirely.
On an EDACS Provoice,.. if there are analog TG's you can hear them,.. but not Provoice Digital. If the EDACS system uses ESK forget hearing anything.
On an LTR Trunking system, you can not trunk track with a 95, you can monitor it conventionally, but if its a busy system it will be difficult.
