I've programmed the control channels as primaries, I've entered the
talkgroup IDs, and the unit appears to be scanning them (Scan ID will appear
in the display). Something is obviously amiss though, because it picks up
NOTHING unless I simply remove trunking, and manually surf in the 820-940MHz
range.

First you have to tell the scanner what type of trunking system
(Motorola I, Motorola II, EDACS.) you're listening to.

There are a few very good introductory explanations of trunking
systems on the web. (I worked in the two-way field for many years,
but I started scanning trunked systems knowing less than you do.)
