Steve;
The Uniden BC 780 , BC 785 and BC 796 will do trunk tracking and conventional at the same time. The Radio Shack/GRE PRO 2067 and PRO 2053 will also. The PRO 2052 (Uniden's BC 895 too) may be able to trunk track and do conventional together UNDER THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE CONTROL also your computer must be dedicated to this application. And or have the RAM to run the scanner control application in the background! While doing other tasks! Check out this site http://www.strongsignals.net/index.cgi Steve G wrote: I used to work for Radio shack . Had they not let me go I would have left. Most of the associates there don't know squat about scanners. Im sure there are people there that do know about the scanners they offer through Radio shack. If you're getting the scanner for yourself I encourage you to seek out yahoogroups related to the scanner you own. and groups related to scanning in your area. or area's of interest. DON'T trust someone else to program the radio for you. This is part of the fun.When I got my first trunk tracker..(bearcat 245xlt) I found the freqs for my area. Learned how to program them in my radio. then learned how to find talkgroups.. .If you need a base station scanner that will do both trunking and conventional at the same time. do not get a pro 2052.. I dont know of a base unit that will follow trunked and conventional systems at the same time. It is experience that the pro 9 5portable will follow both trunked and conventional at the same time..I know this for a fact as I was asked to program one as a demo. and it worked fine. trouble was getting the owner to leave the thing on all the time to "show it off". Hope this helps. as for the radio shack motto. it should be " I didn't know that " |
