Thanks Gerry,

The learning curve with my "new to me" PRO 95 is pretty steep....

having a hard time with picking up the trunking end of things. I keep
getting the squacking...and very infrequently...voice! I really wish I
could find an extensive trunking tutorial...

Randy.

Can anyone tell me what type of trunked system a "GE" system is?
Motorola? EDACS?

Not Motorola -- they're longtime competitors.

I think GE is equivalent to EDACS, but I'm open to correction. I heard the
long story once about who developed what, and then who bought whom, and
all that. As I recall, the net result is that GE was involved in EDACS.

You need to set the bank and the channels to ED
AND
EDACS channels must be loaded in the proper order, starting with the bank
"01" channel, "00" must be locked out

If you tell us what department you're trying to monitor and what you
know about their freqs etc., maybe someone can help with scanner
setup. As I write this my PRO-95 is simultaneously scanning EDACS and
Motorola trunked systems, as well as multiple conventional channels.
The radio is competent, but its manual is poorly organized. That
reminds me, I should finish the critique of the PRO-95 that I started
a couple months ago.

Try putting stuff like "trunking scanner", "trunked radio", etc. into
a search engine. It should come up with some useful pages.
