I have recently purchased both the Whistler TRX-1 and TRX-2 scanners and I am seeking some programming layout suggestions for a statewide trunked radio system, more specifically the Michigan MPSCS system.
As many might know, there are numerous sites throughout the system, many sharing the same control channels over and over again. I am curious how others are programming this system to insure smooth and fast scanning of multiple sites, especially if mobile throughout the state. Importing data (which I never like to do) always adds everything to a single system, I was thinking it might be better to break it down a bit more, depending on the area of the state I'm in. What is everyone else doing with these large scale systems like Michigan and Ohio have?
My thoughts were to program a trunked system for each area of the state and only include the sites within that area and perhaps anything that might be directly adjacent to that area as well. It'll still be allot of sites, but it seems the Whistler scanners handle that just fine; unlike my experiences with Uniden; thoughts comments, etc?
