Trunking Scanners

This article indexes those scanners capable of tracking a Trunked Radio System as well as other applications that can decode these systems.

• A quick reference chart comparing the various trunktrackers and what they can copy can be found at the MT Trunked Scanner Comparison Chart

• For those trunktrackers that copy only analog systems, please see our Analog Trunktrackers article.

• For those trunktrackers that can copy both analog and digital (P25) systems, please see our Digital Trunktrackers article

Other Trunking Topics

Some PC based receivers have software that can simulate trunktracking functions.

• For the IC-PCR100, IC-PCR1000, IC_PCR1500/IC-R1500, and IC_PCR2500/IC-R2500, use TrunkPCR

• For the WinRadio series, See the following;
  • Winradio Trunking module
  • Winradio P25 Decoder available for G305 series receivers

• Many scanners can be tapped at the Discriminator output then (where necessary) fed through Data Slicers into software, links for which can be found at the Trunked Radio Decoders article. The software provides a much more detailed look at a trunked system.
