Programming sequences vary from scanner model to scanner model but the following instructions encompass a basic outline of programming trunking systems into a scanner:
Determine if you have the proper type of scanner to follow the type of trunking system you are looking to monitor. Some scanners will track only analog systems. While other types of scanners will track analog and digital. So make sure you know the difference and that your scanner is capable of trunk tracking. Most trunking systems today are migrating to a protocol called APCO 25 (P25), which is a digital trunking system.
Enter the program mode by selecting the programming key
Press the TRUNK key and this most likely will bring you to a section where you will select the system type, Motorola EDACS, LTR, Motorola 800 TYPE II, APCO 25 (P25) etc.
Once you have selected the type of system to program, then programming should progress to the next point where you will key in the systems frequencies. Most trunk systems frequencies can be located via several online data bases. One popular data base is RadioReference.Com. Depending on the type of system you are programming you will key in the frequencies sometimes in sequence and other times the sequencing will not matter. The important thing is to identify the type of trunking system and do further research on that specific system if need be.
Alas, the system type has been selected, the frequencies have been entered, and now you're ready to start trunk tracking. Press scan and begin listening.

∙ 14y agoThere's no single or simple answer to your question. Each scanner is unique, and each trunking system is unique. You really need to study the manual for your scanner, visit www.RadioReference.com for valuable scanning and trunking information, and consider purchasing and using programming/operating software for your trunking scanner.

How do you get trunked radio frequencies?
Some emergency scanners are able to use trunk scanning technology. Trunk scanning allows you to not only listen to normal emergency broadcasts, but to also listen in to special channels that are opened during large-scale events to allow emergency personnel to communicate with each other. By programming trunked frequencies into your emergency scanner, you can stay informed about major events, even potential disaster, in your community

What is the scanner frequency for Denton Tx police?
There is no single frequency for Denton City PD. The Denton City PD uses a talkgroup on a trunked radio system (0B12 is the system ID, 105.88 is the connect tone, control channels 857.31250, 858.31250, 859.31250, and 860.31250 MHz) shared by the city (shared with fire, waste, city management, water, TWU, UNT, etc) and there are multiple trunked frequencies. If you want to monitor them (and if it's legal for you to do so), you will need a radio scanner capable of following trunked systems and capable of reception in the 800-MHz public safety band. The system is a Motorola Type-II SmartNet. I don't know if the city is going to go digital (many scanners especially trunking scanners will do digital) or possibly APCO-25 (you need an expensive scanner to decode APCO-25). More info (including the other frequencies in the system and the talkgroups that use that system) can be found here: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=22
What kind of authorization do you need to access Fire Department VHF channels and can a local radio shop program it?
You do not need authorization to receive VHF, only to transmit. Most scanners can be programmed at home. 2-way radios usually require specialized equipment to program. So a radio expert should be contacted.
Where could one purchase radio scanners?
There are several retailers which carry radio scanners. Most electronics stores will have these, for one, this is stores such as Radioshack, Best Buy, and even Target might have them. Otherwise there are online retailers such as Amazon.
How do you program a uninden bearcat scanner bc144xl?
To program a conventional frequency into the scanner first select a channel to program and then enter the frequency you wish to store in that channel number and finally press E. According to the manual this scanner is capable of receiving trunked communications. Due to the complexity and length of this process the link below in the Related Links section goes to the manual in PDF format that describes the process. The Programming Trunked Systems chapter begins on page 40.
