Programming Trunking Frequencies
The first step in tracking a trunked system is storing the frequencies in one of the 10
available banks in your scanner. Remember that you can only store one trunking system in
each bank.

frequencies in a specific order. Check the frequency guide included with the
scanner for the frequencies in your area.
