Sevier County Metro Com trunk system

[n4yek]

I need a little help here,
The Metro Communications trunk system for Knox County
that is located on a mountain in Sevier county has me a little
confused.

I have always thought it to be a Type II system, but now I am
thinking it might not be.
The reason is the traffic I monitored today while on lunch break
at work. Some company using this system seem to be changing
talkgroups while communicating between each other. These are
the talkgroups: 18736, 18768, 18576, 18672, 18624, 18688,
18720, 18704.
They seem to rotate the id's on these set of talkgroups. I would
hear one transmit the a reply would be a different id.

Also I think school bus drivers are on the trunk with the same
id swapping as the other company. I saw 08768 and 08784 being
used to talk with each other.
I am guessing the system is probably a type IIi since not all users
are swapping id's

Now my question, how would I set up my Pro-95 to track the system
correctly? I have never delt with type I or IIi trunking systems before
and am not sure how to find a fleet map to track the id's.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Here is the system listing in the forum:

Firstly rotate through all the preset Fleetmaps as listed in the owner's manual, if no luck that way,... then youll have to program in your own, that gets tricky. The only way youll know if its right, is when you can track all coms on the right ID's with no missing any coms.

Don's Win95 program will be a great help to you in programnig this system. you will need to go out to your local RAT SHACK and buy the cable to connect your scanner to your computer, but its a valuable investment. i used to program my pro96 by hand. hours of pressing keys, and not to mention the pain my fingers had after awhile. now that i use my computer to program it, it takes me half the time and i dont have any pain in my fingers anymore.

Thank you for the replies,
I have the software and cable already and that never even crossed my
mind to look in the program for presets.
Also trying the fleet maps in the manual is a place I forgot that had them.
Thanks to you both for the help.
