WORCESTER MASS

The City of Worcester operates a 10 channel GE/Ericsson system. Previously this was only partially monitorable
using the GWiz system. Now true GE monitoring is here! You'll need to get a program called ETrax available at
various dealers including Grove Enterprises. At this time the program only runs with the Optocom from Opto
Electronics but will be updated to work with other receivers. Note: I am not affiliated with or promoting any of the
above companies.

Hook up the optocom to a computer with the supplied cable. Make sure stand alone mode is disabled on the
optocom. Installed etrax on your computer. You need to make a file. Use MS-DOS edit command to create
the following file in the etrax directory as indicated in the etrax instructions: Note: be sure to name the file
"worc" or whatever but not "worc.txt" it won't work. No file extension!

For the Trunktracker II I will convert hex to decimal as well

Groups are the groups you want to listen to in scan mode-instead of everything
Lockouts are groups you don't want to listen to in search mode. Useful for "muting"
busy users like the police so you can discover other users
Tags are the identifers so that when say the program tunes into, say group 421 it will read Police F1 East Dispatch
Here are the Groups I have identified:
