[R426onthescene]

HI,

TRUNKING MEANS THAT IN A RADIO CONVERSATION, THE CONVERSATION MAY START ON ONE FREQUENCY, AND SHIFT TO OTHERS AS THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES. DIGITAL TRUNKING IS SIMPLY TRUNKING, BUT WITH DIGITAL MODULATION (i.e DIGITAL VOICE). yOU NEED A DIGITAL SCANNER TO MONITOR DIGITAL TRUNKING. CITIES USE TRUNKING BECAUSE IT IS A LOT MORE EFFICIENT. ALL CITY SERVICES CAN SHARE 1 SET OF FREQUENCIES. ALL THE USER NEEDS TO DO IS SELECT A "TALKGROUP".

GET ALL THAT? :wink:

Trunking comes from teh concept of using channels ina radio system the way "trunk lines" are used in a telephone system.
They are sharred on an as needed bases rather thn aassigned to a particular user.

There are some good write-ups done by the manufacturers, but I don't have one handy.

Well, dispite Crayon's rant, he is a pretty nice guy, but he does have a point. :lol:

In any case welcome to the boards. If you will check out the home page you will see links running down the left side, under the heading Online Content you will find a link to Trunking Information which will give you a nice overview of Trunking and will lead to lots of good information. :wink:

Ouch, I just realized this part of your post.

Would that be Fairfax County, VA? If so and the "P250" mention is really a BC250D I hope that you ordered the digital card for it. It appears the system is mixed mode APCO-P25 digital with a 3.6 kbs control channel.

From the general tone of this thread, it is obvious that we have someone who needs to sharpen his crayon - especially the yellow one. It's kinda hard to write with a dull point and make any sense. :? :lol:

 

[blantonl]

This thread is totally out of line.

Crayon.... I'm really not believing what I am reading. :evil:

Closed, and let this be a warning to each of you who have posted in this thread with negative, derogatory comments. I can very easily ban you from ever posting again in these forums..... I don't care what contribution you have given to the pages.

In fact, I'll be pleased to return it if I have to.

Good day ladies and gentleman. you have been warned. :!:
