Hi Steve -

Here's how I've had my Pro96 setup in Win96 ever since they moved to their 
trunked system a few years back.

MOT 3600 = multi-table
MOT 9600 = normal

The MOT Custom Table box is grayed-out.

For the extended tables, I don't have either the 3600 or 9600 box checked.

In the Extended Trunking Tables box I have two entries:

Ch lo    Ch hi     Base freq    Offset    Step
380        380    453.45            380        12.5
480        518    460.025        480          12.5

I have no idea if this is right (and I hope my columns stay justified) but 
it seems to work fine for me.

73,

Ed
