Does anyone know where can I view lists of Trunking Group Codes
for Caltrans in the San Jose/San Francisco bay area?

In the Bakersfield/Kern County area CalTrans is 800 conventional, not
trunked.
Try that and see what happens. Good luck ...

Cal  Trans in Chico/Marysville area also operates on a conventional 800 mhz
frequency.

They also operate on the following Frequencies in the Bay Area:

  856.7375
  857.7625
  857.9875
  858.7625

  859.7250
  859.9875
  860.7625
  860.9875

how about group ID numbers like  400-2,  500-3, etc.  These are much easier for
the trunk tracker to stay locked on a specific channel (not frequency) to
follow conversations.  With the other type (4534,  421,  etc), you must
continuously scan becasue a specific channel can consist of more than one of
these type ID numbers.       Get with it people!!

All I can say Ed is that in my area, th elocal police can be programmed as
either Type 1 or 2 in my Pro-90 scanner.  It's all in how I program my scanner.
 Maybe you're not so lucky in your area to use both types, I don't know.  I
simply set my scanner up to use a preset fleet map (Type 1) and wella!!  Again,
at first I was searching with the Type 2 mode and it also worked.  Good luck!!

What part of California are you located in?

Can you share the CALTRAN Talk Groups that came across with
the rest of us?

Sorry, it just seemed to fit. The Caltrans system ID's are not 400-2 or
500-3 as you suggested because they are not on a type I system. They are on
a type II. If you are monitoring a type I system in type II mode then you
get the results you mentioned above. Check the manual under fleet maps, it
goes into great detail about it.

Thanks for info Phil.
