Wayne, thats probably been one of the best explanations, and makes sense... thanks
: "Do I need software and have it linked to the computer?" No, you only need the software/computer for Easier programming of the scanner.
: The 2067 is will suited for trunk tracking.
: You need to program the trunk frequencies in the scanner bank for your area and assign the frequencies to the type of service, example: Motorola type II (MOT/II)
: In the same bank you just programmed the trunk frequencies in, you now need to program what is called talk group id's for your area, example 44678.
: On the 2067 per bank you can program up to 50 frequencies and up to 100 talk group id's
: There is a total of 10 banks 0-9 example: you start off with bank 0 channel 00, remember the 2067 starts off with 0 (not 1)
: In a nut shell:
: say you have the trunk frequency and talk group ids programmed, a service (police, ems, fire) is assigned a talk group id (not frequency) you have a control channel with a roster of other frequencies, let say control-1 on TG ID 44656 keys the mic. the control channel would find the next Available frequency in it's roster for transmitting. You can cram more services utiliting less frequencies.
: I am not good at explaining, I still get confused with the trunk system.
