 For the Motorola system it allows you to put in the Grouping Codes and it
can Follow that group. The ony disadvantage is that it can only be programs 
o
follow one group at a time. So if you wanted to follow two agancies in 
different trunk groups at the same time you would need Two scanners. 
 By the way the Radio Shack Trunk Scanners are Unidens with the RS name and 
model number. And in some Places like here in San Diego California the RS 
version costs more.
