Pro-94 trunk/non-trunk question
 

I've got a Pro-94 scannner, and I would
like to hear ONE particular user on a
trunked system, PLUS two non-trunked
frequencies. If I use the "HOLD"
feature for the trunked user, the radio
won't scan the other two non-trunked
frequencies. At least, it won't the
way I have it programmed--I'm no expert
on scanning, I just like hearing the
helicopter ambulances.

I thought about locking out ALL the
other trunked IDs, so it would "scan"
just the one trunked and then the two
non-trunked---but the Pro-94 only has
100 lockouts and there are many more
users on this system.

Does anybody with a Pro-94 know a way
I can hear just the one trunked, plus
two non-trunked, frequencies? TIA!

There is probably an easier way to do this, I am no expert at this, but this
is how I do it with a Pro-95.
The city has 2 dispatch, North and South, they are trunked. The Sheriff
has 2 dispatch, they are not trunked. At work there are times I want to only
hear one of the Sheriff, and one of the city. I set up one bank on the
scanner that only has the Talk group for the one City, and the one channel
for the Sheriff. When I just want to monitor those 2, I just turn on that
bank, and turn off the others. I think this would work with your 94 also.
Now someone here that knows more about these may have an easier solution,
but if not this should do what you want.

Alex, many thanks--I'll dig out the manual and see if I can
do this with my pro-94. I don't know anything about putting
talk groups into banks--I just have the trunked system's
frequencies in one bank and the other two frequencies in
another bank. It sounds like if I can put a talk-group ID
into a bank, that'll do exactly what I want--many thanks!
