What is a trunked system ?


Multi frequency system that is computer controlled. "Channels" are not
used. Instead, computer-assigned, "talkgroups" are used. Communications
traffic on one talkgroup can be assigned different frequencies on a first-
come first-served, basis.

A conventional scanner cannot follow a specific conversation, due to this
system. A trunking capable scanner can follow this traffic easily. A more
advanced trunking scanner, like the pro-92, 93, 95, and 96 can also allow
you to put alphanumeric "tags" on talkgroups, thus allowing you to identify
them at a glance.
