Request help with basic programming for Seattle PD

[doghausdev]

I recently got a GRE PSR500, and I've got it scanning conventional frequencies just fine.

However, I am really confused about programming for Seattle PD. I can see from this page http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=604 that it seems to be a wide-area trunked system, and I see that there are numerous frequencies listed.

I can't seem to figure out how to get from the information on that page to my scanner listening to those frequencies.

Could someone help me out with some pointers?

Did you try and use sofware to program the scanner directly? Oh BTW Welcome

I don't have a PSR500, but Bush was quoted as saying "it makes rocket surgery look easy." Yes, rocket surgery...

Anyway, set it for control channel only Motorola trunking, non-P25. The Seattle Simulcast will have the Seattle PD units on it 99.99% of the time, so use 868.17500 as your control channel. There's also a good chance you'll hear them on KC/VC (851.8125) which has great coverage and EPSCA (868.77500) which has a repeater on top of Tiger Mtn.

Bah, I've been saying that for years.

Thanks for your messages- I think I have this cracked, using Win500 software, and a premium subscription to this site.
