    You do NOT need a FleetMap for an 800MHz type II system.

    Is this a FleetNet in Canada? Then you need a CUSTOM BAND PLAN to follow the system as its on VHF.

    For 800MHz, if its a Type II system all you need is the frequencies and set your scanner for Type II. Be sure to set the bank for Motorola Type II, then prorgam the frequencies, then program in the talkgroups.

    Fleetmaps are ONLY for the OLDER and outdated Type I and Type IIi mixed systems, and only for the banks that still have the older Type I ID's. Most type I and IIi systems will/have been replaced due to equipment no longer available and not supported by Motorola as well as the rebanding process.

    800 MHz TRS is an 800 Megahertz (that's the frequency range) Trunked Radio System. Basically, there are multiple channels that such a system uses - both transmitting and receiving - and you would have to have all of those frequencies in order to be certain to be able to follow any particular transmission. The system switches back and forth over the different channels depending on the circumstance. I'm afraid that things have changed greatly since the days I used to have my own scanner; these days, after an entire day of using a radio the last thing I feel like doing is coming home and listening to one for free. Back then no one used 800 MHz or trunked systems; it was as simple as pop in a frequency and go. I couldn't begin to tell you how to set up a modern public scanner in order to pick up a trunked system broadcast, but at least that should give you some help regarding where to look.
