Digital trunking scanner

[CBCollier]

I got one of those several years ago....it took me three days of reading just to get the local channels. Still don't know about the trunked.

You are missing all of the good stuff if you are not listening to the trunked channels. +1000 on the radioreference and the programming cable and software, it is a must, especially for the Radio Shack version I have. I think the programming manual was written in a different language and transcribed about 3 times!

The correct software makes it a breeze. It can be done with the keyboard on the unit but it is time consuming.

What Brand and Model?

Radio Shack Pro-2096

Call the radio shack, most of them have a scanner programmed to local trunking channels.

If you take yours to them, they will clone it "copy" to match theirs.

JG is absolutely right. Most RS stores will load you up with the local programming by driopping the unit by the store.

If you want to have a go at it yourself the software you need is available in a 30 trail version here:http://www.starrsoft.com/software/win96/. If you likie th eprogram you can upgrade to the full version for $30. You will also need the programming cable from your local RS. Take my word for it. The software makes it much easier to understand.
