I have a question regarding the Pro 98 scanner. The 800 MHz stuff if just
starting to catch hold around here, and "I" personally don't deal with it
much. So, I have a question - on the Pro - 98, with some 800 stuff
programmed in, often I hear a sort of machine gun noise. Other times I hear
actual signals. The noise is so irritationg though, you tend to take the
freqs out and not hear anything. I've not used the "Trunking" function on
the scanner as yet, is that the problem?

Thanks

Probably. The machine gun noise is probably a trunked system's
control channel. You'll hear the voice traffic on the system if you
program it as a trunked system.
