Can you program more than one "site" of a set of trunking frequencies into one bank?
And
I notice in Police Call 2005 that the Seattle Trunking frequencies fall under either Motorola Type 2 Trunking system Frequencies or Valley Communications/King County System Frequencies. What is the difference?
I have a 895xlt. Can it program the Valley Communications Trunked Frequencies? What type of trunking network does this fall into?

Thanks so much!!!

I love shortwave and scanner monitoring. It is a hobby I have had since boyhood that I recently rediscovered with the purchase of a close out scanner. (BC895xlt) (Icom r-75)

Valley Com, King County, Seattle, and Eastside are all on the same system. So if you put in Seattle control channel you also can everyboby else.

851.8125 is good control channel for valley com

FYI Tukwila PD and Des Moines PD has primary and tac patch together. Tukwila units are Tom and David units are Des Moines. Admins are not patch.

Auburn PD and Algona-Pacific are also patch. Adam units= Auburn, Linkin= Algona, aand Paul=Pacific. Also Black Diamond is shars prim and tac with Auburn. Black Diamond are Boy. None of there admins are patch.

Ok, let me reply simply - yes, you can program all the sites into one bank - but most scanners will only listen to one control channel at a time (unless you use the trick of interlacing conventional freqs with control channel freqs which personally I don't think is a great idea).

You should listen to the site with the traffic you want to hear. Not all sites have the same traffic.

What you should do is read this here very carefully:

It was written by Wiz, the network manager for the KCTRS. It will explain everything you need to know about what traffic is on what site (i.e. smartzone and smartnet operation)
