Beyond the Basics
Hint: While searching, you may not
know exactly to whom the talk group
IDs are assigned until you listen
awhile. To locate talk group ID lists
for your local police, fi re, and other
agencies, refer to frequency guides
available at your local RadioShack
store or on internet sites such as
www.trunkscanner.com. You can also
determine the type of agency you are
listening to after a short while, be it
a police, fi re, or emergency medical
2-way radio user. Once you have
identifi ed the type of service, note
the associated talk group ID of that
unit for future programming. See
“identifying a trunked frequency”.
Determining the service associated
with a talk group ID might take
awhile, but discovering the ID owner
of each signal is half the fun of trunk
scanning!
