can you mix trunked freq and conventional in the same bank.

On which scanner??

With most new scanners yes you can mix. Some of the older scanners out there you could not.

Ok. I have a question since you can mix conventional and trunked in the same bank. Will that work on the BCD396T. Being able to put channels in a specific order.
on the pro-97 scanner
Yes, you can. You just can't mix systems. For example, you can't put a Motoroal and EDACXS system in the same bank. But conventional and trunked is cool to do!williafa said:
Thanks a bunch!

Will that same principal work with the BCD396T.
The BCD396T does not have banks. You can put a conventional system and a trunked system on the same quick key so that they will turn on/off together, though.

Hey UPMan,
I realize that I have a BCD396T. What I was trying to find out is like on the Alachua County Florida 800 they have some channels that are conventional in amongst the talkgroups. Can the BCD396T be organized in the same fashion.

Yes. Create a trunked system for the trunked system stuff. Create a conventional system for the conventional channels. Assign them both to the same quick key.

Ok here this may help you understand.

If you look at the fire rescue fleet map at the bottom of this page and see channels C9-C14? Will I be able to organize the scanner that same way using the trunked talkgroups and conventional channels in the same order as the Radio map plan without creating two separate banks. I have added them to the bank according to the fleetmap and im going to see the next time I go toward Gainesville if it has distinguished between trunked and conventional. The BCD396T UASD software did accept them as conventional channels.

C9-C14 are conventional channels outside the trunked radio system. You would program all of the other channels into a trunked system and assign it to a system quick key of, for example, 1. You would program the C9-C14 channels into a conventional system with the same quick key (1). If you hold on a channel in either system and scroll, you will find that the systems are adjacent to one another, so you can scroll back and forth between them. However, there is no way to make the scanner scroll in such a way as to skip from channels in a trunked system to channels in a conventional system and then back to channels in the trunked system.

OK that helps a bunch!!! 
I didn't think that there was a way for a scanner to do that. Do you think that there could ever be a scanner that could do something like that similar to the fire department radios when they do it. I know it may cost alot for something like that but if it were me, I would certainly pay for it so i wouldn't have to have two banks open at the same time but oh well. Thanks again!!!

I don't think you are getting the point, the 396 doesn't have banks. It has quick keys, assign the trunked system and the conventional system to the same quick key. It will be as if they were in the same "bank", only it will be a quick key which points to two different systems.khvfdff said:OK that helps a bunch!!!

I am woefully aware of that I have a Bcd396t. I dont know where you got blowing my statement out of proportion like you did. I perfectly understand now that there cant be conventional channels as well as trunked talkgroups mixed together. I also perfectly understand that there are quick keys or each system and not banks. I was just makeing sure that you couldn't intermix the two (CONVENTIONAL FREQUENCIES AND TRUNKED TALKGROUPS). All I was also asking is did Upman think that their could be a scanner that could do this in the future that could intermix the channels I know the fire department radios are capable of it. So I dont know where you get off telling me I dont understand when I perfectly do understand what Upman was saying.
