I am trying to figure out the best way to program in the county system in my new 785D. Can all zones be programed in to one bank or do they all hae to be in separate banks? What type of system should I select when setting up trunking info?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
You will have to set each zone in it's own bank. You'll probably want a bank for North Zone and one for South Zone. The numerous East Zones are a pain to do, and don't always yield the results you think they will due to the way affiliation works with the Smart Zones. Plus a lot of the major incidents that occur in the east will be carried on EMA talkgroups, you will probably hear them on N or S zones anyway.
Normally, I'd set up a S LAW bank, S Fire bank and the same for N law and fire, but how you do it depends on what it is your listening goals are.

Well, there's a good one for Chicago. "Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association" or "CARMA".

I am wondering if putting the eastern sub-sites of the RCS in the same bank as the South CC, will allow you to hear traffic in rural areas when out of range of the South CC?
I.E., when traveling East on 8 and my scanner loses the CC of the South system, it would scan and pick up one of the other sub-system CC. Has anyone tried this on the RCS? I read about someone who did this in the Louisiana and said as he traveled, he would move from on CC to another continuing to hear traffic. Any thoughts?
