[TrunkCom] 'Andy' Program Fix for 250D!

[Andy]

Hmm...interesting...I tried this about 5 times and could not get the scanner
to switch over the conventional frequencies to trunked ones.

Maybe I'm missing an important detail here, but in the quoted message body
below it states, "...and set the mode to "A" (not 5, or 12.5, etc) ..."
Isn't the mode represented as NFM, FM, WFM, AM?  'A' causes the mode to be
changed to 'AM'.  The step is the numeric value, also able to be represented
by an A for Auto, correct?  Maybe there is a typo here, but I still
attempted to correct and tried all sorts of different combinations with no
luck.  Anyone have any suggestions or clarifications.  Thanks in advance.

Andy
