Please tell me how to do that on a Pro-92B.  There is one burb that is on =
a small regional Moto Type II regional system for everything except their =
Service Department.  It would be neat if I could lump those 3 EDACS =
Service Department and 12 - 15 EDACS SERVICE Talkgroups in with the Moto =
ones.

The scanner will automatically display Talkgroups according to what
trunking type you have it set for.  Thus, when in Motorola mode, you will
see Talkgroups like 8208 (Type 2) and 100-1 (Type 1), and in EDACS mode
you will see Talkgroups like 08-121 (AFS) and 1121 (decimal).  For
trunking ID scanlists, you need to designate some of the talkgroup
memories for use with the EDACS system and some for the Motorola system
(as I stated in my example, I use 50 for Hollywood and 50 for
CS/Margate).

Yes, and this is true of all trunking scanners - you have to tell it what
type of system you're listening to.  Thus, when in range of the EDACS
system, you switch it to EDACS mode, and when in range of the Motorola
system, you switch to Motorola mode.  The scanner will adjust the
Talkgroups accordingly.  And again, this is why you have to designate
which talkgroup memories will be used for each system type (i.e. the
first 20 talkgroup memories are for the EDACS system, the remaining are
for the Motorola system, etc).  Otherwise, your stored EDACS Talkgroups
will look odd when in Motorola mode (and vice versa).
