To the best of my knowledge, the Radio Shack trunked scanners only work
on Motorola trunked systems. Erickson's system is different from Motorola.
The scanner, after the frequencies are entered on Motorola trunked systems,
will automatically seek out the control frequency and begin tracking the
trunked Motorola system.
You should check your manual closely. I don't think you can receive Erickson
systems on your scanner.
