Are you sure you're marking both the bank and all the channels as the
trunking type, not FM?


Hey Al,

I did, indeed, have the banks and channels marked as trunking but it
wasn't work. We may be able to chalk it up to lackluster reception
strength on the trunking system I was trying to receive whle down in
Oregon. Though, admittingly, I believe I didn't have everything
program in properly. I finally figured out the basic steps of
programming in the data channel for Motorola Systems and then manually
entering in the Talk Group #'s and AlphaNumeric tags. The manual could
have been quite a bit more insightful and less ambiguous and
confusing. I finally googled my way to a couple of sights with some
good, basic facts that pushed me forward much quickly than the manual
would ever do.
