I'm Interested in programming trunking to receive only using a Kenwood Radio TK981 But have'nt Played around with the LTR system Before and have some Questions that you Guys might be able to answer.
1/ when programming LTR, do you need a system key like the Motorola System?
2/ Do the radio affilate with the system?
Thanks

I have noticed that some groups use more than 1 talk group, Some Dispatchers TX on One and Rx on another, Some use Multiple groups to TX and Rx and everyone associated with that group follows along,
Is that the way each radio is Programmed? or the Repeater?
Thanks!

You'll need to find out what frequencies are assigned to what repeater numbers in order to make a radio that will "follow" the group.
Repeaters are numbered from 1 thru 20 (they can be in sequence, but, usually skip numbers) (unless there are 20 channels in the system)
Example for 5 chan system: 1,5,9,13,17 or 2,6,10,14,18 etc.
Each repeater number has a frequency assigned to it.
Then you assign a home repeater number(1-20) and a talk group number(1-250)

They have more info on all kinds of trunked stuff.
Best of luck.
