Beyond the Basics

programming trunked systems

If you are just getting started with trunked system monitoring
or have any questions about how your PRO-2096 scanner
operates when tracking trunked radio systems. For best
results, program only one trunking system in each channel
storage bank of your scanner. Your scanner will lock on to the
fi rst active control channel it fi nds in a channel storage bank
and follow the activity from that trunking system.
