Hi,
I am looking for someone that owns this scanner and knows
how it works. I have been looking at one at the local RS and,
(either it is too new or because it is too complicated), they really
don't know how this scanner works. I live in a area that has the
Astro 800 Mhz digital trunking systems. I went to
www.neohioscan.com and found the talkgroups for my county.
What I could not find out is how do you use the talkgroup numbers
there with the scanner. I would like to trunk the frequencies that
I am interested in and be able to select a talkgroup quickly. They
were saying I would have to wait till it came up then lock in on it,
which didn't make a lot of sense. Anyway, if someone that has
some experience with this scanner, I would appreciate any info.
Thanks in advance!!!

Browse around and you'll find all the info you need about trunked systems
including talk group IDs for those systems.

Will help you with programming those talk group IDs. The Pro96 manual is in
the works but you might be able to use another RS manual and adapt if you
need to.
