Depends who you talk too.....
I have heard it called TRS01, System001, System1, System01 EPRTRS01, EDACS001, EDACS01, EDACS1, Edacs..... and the list goes on and on.
Offically its called "Public Safety Radio System"

hum okay...lol im trying to buy a older scanner with trunk tracker 2 but wanna make sure it's going to work

It's a standard EDACS system (EDACS 9600). Most likely any Trunktracker you get will track it - though if people are using digital or encryption (which I don't know - it's not specified in the TRSDB) you won't hear them. Doug can probably answer that part a bit better.

Just make sure the radio is capable of monitoring trunked EDACS radio systems. Most of the trunktracker series scanners do
As for digital, (Police) only the 4 dispatch channels remain in the clear, The rest are PV (Provoice digital) or PV Encrypt,Thank the media for that

Fire and Ambulance remain in clear.

Hmm .. paying 25$ for something that probably isnt even very accurate. Sounds like a win / lose situation.

With the advent of easy-to-use programming software and the propagation of ready-made data files for certain areas, I can't fathom why people don't just download the appropriate stuff and do it themselves. Heck, most of the time for most of my scanners (except the 396), I program them by uploading an ASCII file thru HyperTerminal, created from output generated by my Excel master table of frequencies. Not much more software than already exists in Windows. (Still, newbies would want something much easier, and there is.)

Then again, there are people who are having trouble even with programs that have "Guided" modes which literally step you through a process hand-holding you all the way..

Maybe it's about time too....

I think it's about time we had a coffee meet in Edmonton again. At the meet if anyone shows intrest, we can help out those looking for help program their scanner, or just talk scanner stuff.

Tentively this Thursday at Tim's on 75 Street and Roper Road (51 Ave.) 7:00 PM Ish.

It's been awhile..... I see some old fimilar names and a bunch of new ones on this forum.

Please let me know if your intrested....

If anyone has the ability to post message's on Scanalberta.com I ask too post coffee meet notice.

Thanks

Paying to program the channels in?! Nice scam... It takes 15 minutes to learn and 10 minutes to program in the frequencies...

Does that price include all the alpha tags, patches and correct identifiers?
