Uniden UBC3300XLT manual Toggling the Status Bit, Control Channel Only Mode

Page 73

Note: • If the system is not tracking properly, you may need to try a new Base Frequency or Offset Channel or you may be missing frequencies from the system.

You can set up to three Base, Spacing and Offsets for Motorola VHF/UHF trunked systems.

Toggling the Status Bit

On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which specialized types of communications utilize unique talkgroup numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique talkgroup from its primary assignment, for example. Because the UBC3300XLT defaults to Status-Bit ON mode, you never need to worry about missing these transmissions. If you have programmed talkgroup 33264 into Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency call within the group, you will hear it on 33264.

The only time you may wish to turn Status Bits OFF is if you're trying to figure out the proper Fleet Map of a Type I trunking system. To turn Status Bits OFF, enter into the Menu mode and select 2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK - select bank number - / 9:STATUS BIT. (This feature does not apply to EDACS and LTR operation within the scanner.) Then rotate the VFO to change the setting (1:ON to 2:OFF) and press E to program your change.

Control Channel Only Mode

When this function is activated, trunking is performed using Control Channel data only. Voice channel (also known as "DATA channel") frequencies do not have to be programmed into memory. This feature only applies to Motorola 800 MHz and 900 MHz systems.

To turn this function on, choose Motorola 1:TYPE2 800 or 3:TYPE2 900 or 2:TYPE1 in the Menu mode. Then set to the desired control plan by selecting 2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK - select bank number - / :CNTRL CH ONLY.

You must choose one of 4 frequency plans (only when 800 MHz systems is selected) before you begin to Control Channel Trunk. The default, Plan 1, is the most common. Read the description of the Plans below for details on which may apply for you.

PLAN 1: Use Plan 1 if the last three digits of ALL the frequencies in use end in one of the following three digits: 125, 375, 625, or 875 (example: 856.1125, 860.7375, 859.6625, 855.8875).
