That should do it. There are other selections on the trunking menu,
but they aren't necessary to get started monitoring the system.

Oops, forgot to mention something. There are two different modes for
scanning trunked systems: ID Scan and ID Search. In ID Scan, only the
talkgroups you have programmed into the scanner (via the menu
mentioned above) are heard. If you're getting no voice from the
trunked system, that could be the reason.

In ID Search, all talkgroups are heard.

Well, sort of. In either mode, the talkgroups you have locked out are
ignored. The trunking menu has a selection to display the list of
locked out talkgroups, where you can remove any desired talkgroup from
the list or clear the whole list in a single button push.

The display will show which mode is in effect. To switch modes, press
the SEARCH or SCAN button while the scanner is on the trunked system
(either outputting voice or simply checking it for traffic).

All the above is true for the BC796D. I'm guessing your scanner is
similar.
