Trunking Operations

trunking operations

The scanner can track transmissions for up to 10 Motorola Type I, Type II, hybrid, EDACS or LTR analog trunking systems. When the scanner ﬁnishes checking activity in the trunked system, it scans other conventional frequencies in the bank.

For trunked reception, set the squelch at the center position. If set too high, it could prevent your scanner from locking on the control channel reliably. If it is set too low, it can delay ﬁnding the control channel. The best setting is critical for monitoring trunked systems.

programming trunked frequencies

To program trunked frequencies, complete the following steps:

1. Press E/PGM in conventional mode to set the scanner in programming mode. Then, press TRUNK. Your scanner beeps, then all the bank numbers ﬂash.

2. Press the number key for the desired target storage bank.

3. Press or to select a trunking system type, then press E/PGM. You can select from the following systems:

You See			Trunk System
E2	– 800	........................................Motorola Type II, 800 MHz frequencies
E2	– 900	........................................Motorola Type II, 900 MHz frequencies
E2	– Hi	Motorola Type II, VHF (136-174	MHz) frequencies
E2	– UHF	..................... Motorola Type II, UHF (400-512	MHz) frequencies
E1	..................................................................	Motorola Type I, and Hybrid
Ed	.............................................................	EDACS Wide Band: 9600 baud
Ed – SCt			EDACS Scat
Lt			LTR

4. Prog F appears, then press E/PGM. The scanner automatically selects the ﬁrst channel in the selected banks.

5. Use the number keys to enter a valid frequency within the trunk system, then press E/PGM. The bank number, the channel number, and E (EDACS), M (Motorola) or L (LTR) appears depending upon the trunk system selected.
