Question about programming Trunked Frequencies

[fmon]

Scan only the bank with Copperas Cove EDACS system. Then press TRUNK. Then use UP/DOWN through all 5 trunk frequencies. Do you hear any Control Channel noise on any of the frequencies? If none is heard,
1) you may be to far from the tower to pick the system up

or

2) the database may be incorrect

Can someone take a look at the Copperas Cove, TX Trunked frequencies and tell me why these freqs aren't working? Is it because they're operating on EDACS Provoice and Analog? My PRO-2032 isn't able to scan these freqs right? Just wanted to make sure. I got them programmed in correctly, but I'm not getting any action on those. Just the Bell County Trunked freqs. Thanks so much. Art

Copperas Cove. There may something odd about that system. If ask in the Texas forum, someone there may know.
You talk about hearing Bell County FREQS, If you are seeing freqs. and not seeing Talk Groups on the display, it is not trunking properly.

Thanks for the help guys. Dick, I'm seeing the TG's when I listen to Bell County. It's just when I plugged in the Copperas Cove Trunked freqs, I don't get anything at all. I'm workin on narrowin the problems down with a little troubleshooting, though. I could possibly be too far from the tower, but Copperas Cove isn't all that big. I saw a snippet about how Copperas Cove is in the middle of switching to a new system but don't know how true that is. Thanks for the help again, though.

The later 2052 scanners can receive both conv and trunk in same bank.

Art, did you hear a Control Channel noise on any of those 5 EDACS frequencies?

Fmon,

Actually, I'm not getting anything at all on any of those freqs.

Art,
In case they have rebanded, try this. Go to an empty bank and put in the new freqs.
