Program Astro the same as any Motorola programming, see note below
from RR homepage, Trunking info page on Motorola systems:
ASTRO is the trademark name for Motorola's Digital Communications
Solution. The original Motorola ASTRO implementation uses the standard
SmartZone 3600 baud data channel, and the digital voice solution is
based on the Motorola proprietary VSELP vocoder.

BTW, I think Pennsylvania, State of is Open Sky, which no current
scanner can monitor.

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..
