Setting the Squelch

Since Squelch is automatically adjusted in trunking mode, it isn’t necessary to manually adjust the squelch control while trunk tracking. However, the squelch setting you select before you begin trunk tracking can affect how fast your scanner acquires the data channel, and, in some instances, the squelch setting can prevent your scanner from acquiring the data channel at all.

Set SQUELCH in this position before selecting a trunking bank.

Note: You can change this recommended setting, if necessary, to provide better performance in

your area.

Programming Trunking Frequencies

Before you start programming your scanner to track a trunked system, consider the following:

 

You can only program one trunking system in each

 

bank of your scanner.

 

Trunking frequencies must be entered while in the

n

Trunking Programming mode.

 

If you’re in the Trunking Programming mode, you

 

cannot select channels in other banks.

 

For example, if you are programming Bank 4, you

 

can only select channels 91-120 with the

n

or

keys.

IMPORTANT: If you are programming an EDACSÆ trunked system, you must enter the frequencies in a specific order. Check the frequency guide included with the radio and the listed web sites for details.
