Beyond the Basics

Hint: While searching, you may not know exactly to whom the talk group IDs are assigned until you listen awhile. To locate talk group ID lists for your local police, ﬁre, and other agencies, refer to frequency guides available at your local RadioShack store or on internet sites such as www.trunkscanner.com. You can also determine the type of agency you are listening to after a short while, be it a police, ﬁre, or emergency medical 2-way radio user. Once you have identiﬁed the type of service, note the associated talk group ID of that unit for future programming. See “identifying a trunked frequency”. Determining the service associated with a talk group ID might take awhile, but discovering the ID owner of each signal is half the fun of trunk scanning!
