[scanners] Re: [TrunkCom] UHF LTR programming on BC250D and monitoring

[trunkcom@mailman.qth.net]

The same rule applies with the PRO-95 so I would assume it would also
apply with the other recent GRE built scanners.  In other words, if the
specific channels were 1, 4 and 5, the frequencies have to be in 01, 04
and 05 in a bank in a PRO-95 and 00, 02 and 03 must NOT be set to LTR
but can be used for other frequencies.
