Re: 380 MHz Federal Trunk System

You're correct,

I was able to save the freqs as trunked ON in ARC with the trunked
systems set to UNKNOEN, then transfer to scanner.  The scanner had the
freqs as M but ya sure can't set any UHF settings to work.  

Baaaa, can't wait to spend another half grand plus for new tech. :)

If you have come here to find out about the 785D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-785D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-785D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
