Searching a Trunked Bank
If programming a Type I system, you cannot Scan the trunking bank you just programmed unless you enter talk groups into memory. See ahead for details. With the search function, you’ll be able to find all the active talk groups within the trunked system.
Once the data
channel is acquired, the scanner begins trunk tracking. Talk
group ID’s, which represent different service groups, begin to display.
While searching, you won’t know exactly who the ID’s are assigned to unless you listen awhile or until ID lists are available in frequency guides or on internet sites. However, it usually only takes a few minutes to figure out police, fire, and emergency medical personnel. Other IDs may take some time, but determining who each ID represents is half the fun of TrunkTracker™.
