well, i have found CC mode to be very helpful in "discovering" unknown systems and their frequencies, but don't really rely on it to track known systems.

i _did_ find this note on Lindsey Blanton's site about monitoring Smartzone systems:

**********
Monitoring a SmartZone system with a Trunktracker is the same process as monitoring
any other Smartnet Type II system, except that you can only monitor one site at a time.
For you to monitor a specific talkgroup on a SmartZone site, someone's radio must be
affiliated to that specific talkgroup. Therefore, if you are monitoring talkgroup
"POLICE-NORTH" on a site where no radios have that talkgroup affiliated, then you will not
hear any communications on that talkgroup until a radio affiliates to that talkgroup
**********

although i thought CC mode would be capable of handling this, if you followed the "PLAN" logic all the way through.

dunno.

(sorry if i'm way off base here!)
