I don't recall if it will do Type II trunking (which requires less 
information), but for Type I you need (or should need): the (up to 5) system 
control channels, the fleet and the talkgroup.  You realize that for $150 
more than the scanner you can get a full Maxtrac 800 2-way radio?    Of 
course, you are going to need the same info to program it.
