Default RS PRO-2054 scanner trunked question....newbie

Hi,

Just got a Radio Shack PRO-2054 scanner and have a few questions: (first
scanner)

I live in Suffolk County New York and my police use that new 800 mhz trunked
system.

I programmed the scanner to recieve the freqs posted but here is the
problem..

There are about 22 freqs that Suffolk uses for trunking. I receieve all of
them fine, but I only get bits of conversations or I have to follow 3 or so
conversations. I'm really only interested in the 3rd precinct in Suffolk
County. Is there a special way to program the scanner to receive only
certain precincts? Not all of of Suffolk County? Obviously I'm missing the
last programming step - the order of the trunk or something...Any help would
be appreciated..Thanks...Pete
