When in the Trunking mode, press SRCH and the scanner begins to find any active IDs. When the scanner finds any ID, you will hear it.
Talkgroups display differently in Motorola, EDACS and LTR systems. You should read the appropriate parts of this guide to understand the formats.
The display indicates the bank and the type of trunked system you are monitoring. While monitoring on ID, press the ▲ key, and the scanner will check if any other IDs are active.
Regardless of the system, you won't know exactly who you are receiving until you listen for a while, or refer to frequency guides or internet sites such as www.trunktracker.com.
