Programming Motorola Systems

Follow the instructions in this section to program information for Motorola Type I, II, IIi Hybrid, and APCO 25 Digital trunking systems.

Using Control Channel Programming

Your scanner has a powerful feature that lets you program in only the control channels for Motorola 800 and 900 MHz systems. This can greatly shorten the time it takes to program system information.

2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank → :CNTRL CH ONLY

For 900 MHz systems, you can then simply turn the feature on or off. For 800 MHz systems, you need to select the band plan for the system:

1:PLAN1

Use if the last three digits of all of the frequencies used by the system end in 125, 375, 625, or 875.

2:PLAN2

Use if the highest frequency used by the system is above 866 MHz and if the last three digits end in 000, 125, 250, 375, 500, 625, 750, or 875.

3:PLAN3

Use if the last three digits of all the frequencies in the system end in 000, 250, 500, or 750.

4:PLAN4

Use if the highest frequency in the system is below 866 MHz and if the last three digits end in 000, 125, 250, 375, 500, 625, 750, or 875.

5:OFF

Select to turn off control channel programming for this bank.

Note: • Many systems alternate control channels. To properly track the system, you need to program all alternate control channels.

If you do not know all of the frequencies for a system, but know at least one con- trol channel, start by selecting Plan 1 (the most common type). If you notice that you seem to be missing transmissions and replies, try each of the other plans until you find the one that works best.

Programming Type 2/Digital 800 and 900 MHz Systems

To program a Type 2/Digital 800 or 900 MHz system, you need to know the frequencies that the system uses.

1.Select the trunk programming mode.

2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK

2.Use the scroll bar to select the bank you want to program, then press E.

1:TRUNK TYPE → 1:ON
