bought one of these dirt cheap on ebay to play with. says it tracks
motorola type 1 and ii systems as well as hybrid analog. anybody still
use these systems?

if i program the trunk freqs for my local twp into a bank for the
trunking system, will it follow converstations?

Where do you live? What kind of system are you trying to listen to? If you
do not know, or are not sure, the Radio Reference page is often a great
place to start.

live in montgomery county, pa...they have some info on their website,
but nothing specific. they tell you what freqs the trunking system
uses, but not what type of system it is.

It says this is Motorola Type II SmartZone. Most of this you can listen to.
Anything with an A means analog, that scanner can pick it up.

That is just the Trunked Police, They list a lot of conventional too, which
that scanner also can pick up.
There is also Fire, and a whole lot of other stuff listed there in your
area. Should keep you busy a long time.

If you did not get a manual with it, they can still be downloaded in PDF
for free.
