Searching for Trunk Systems

1:SEARCH OPTION :CHAIN SEARCH 2:SEARCH RANGE → Select the range → 5:TRUNK

This option lets you search for a Motorola trunking control channel within the selected range. To activate this function, select 1:ON, then select an appropriate trunk plan. Most areas use Plan 1, so this setting should work in most cases.

Note: This feature only works for 800 MHz and 900 MHz Motorola trunking systems.

If the scanner detects a trunking control channel, it will begin to track that system. The scanner displays the talk group numbers as they become active.
