Ok so i'm sorta a newbie here...i owned the radioshack 200 channel basic scanner, but now i've upgraded to the pro-97 with the trunking feature...but i am so lost with how to program trunking frequencies...i mean like for instance i want to put in say "myrtle beach, SC" trunking freq. into the scanner...when i click on the link, it says like the following:
System Frequencies
Red (c) are Primary Control Channels | Blue (a) are alternate control channels | Click a Site Name for additional site information | Site Map: FCC Callsigns RR Locations
Site Name Freqs
001 Primary 856.21250 856.43750 856.71250 856.96250 857.21250c 857.43750 857.71250 857.96250 858.21250c
858.43750 858.96250 859.21250c 859.43750 859.71250 860.21250c 860.43750
Here's the actual link http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=541
Now does that mean all i need to do is manually type in each freq. like i did with my old non-trunking scanner? or is there something else i need to be doing..sorry but i'm just so lost, i was just used to just punching in a feq in a bank and being done with it...is it really just that simple with programming trunked freqs as well? or am i missing something here? i tend to get real lost with talkgroups, etc...what is a talkgroup and how do i get it into my scanner?? sorry for all the questions....
