[TheList] trunking

Mon Feb 24 17:39:33 AEDT 2020

Take a step back and answer what we're indirectly asking. 

The settings you mentioned are for a pile of systems not really used in NZ.  As has been previously mentioned, your scanner won't do MPT1327 trunking (short of putting in all frequencies of the site you're listening to, then removing the control channel - which won't allow following certain users) There's no DMR capability (so rules out Vitals Tier3, Orion Tier3 and Push Wireless) 

From your tone you're getting frustrated, which is fine, but you haven't mentioned who you're trying to listen to, so we can't help with settings until we know the system type, which we can start to work out by the user.  You say you've listened to 'the trunking system' but not which one

There wasn't any unencrypted P25 audio when I was down last, and I don't know if its type 1 or type 2.  As I mentioned, I don't think your card does type2 so be aware of that also.
