Hello,
I just bought a dual trunking scanner from Radio Shack. However, I have no idea how to program certain stations. I am trying to get Middleboro and went to the site you guys discussed above. I get the following information:
SERVICE FREQUENCY PL/DPL DESCRIPTION MISC.W/N
Police 470.825 103.5 Ch 1 Main Help
Fire 470.700 203.5 Primary Ops N
470.700 91.5 Ch 2 Fire Ground N
33.72 203.5
DPW 470.600 131.8 New
Water Dept 470.375 203.5 New
EM 152.740 ??? Emergency Mangmt
What does "PL/DPL" mean? Should I be able to tune to the frequency 470.825, pause it, then hear all of Middleboro's police calls? These may be stupid questions, but I have no idea how this works. I can get some pre-programmed stations, but I am having trouble programming my own. Also, what does "dual trunking mean?" I have a book called "Police Call" that lists a few other Middleboro frequencies too, but I can't seem to get any of the frequencies listed in the book even though there are hundreds. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Pete
