Beyond the Basics

setting squelch for trunking mode

Your scanner automatically mutes the audio during trunk scanning when it decodes control channel data. However, we recommend you turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the rushing sound stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel.

programming trunking frequencies

You program trunking frequencies the same as non-trunked frequencies, except that you must store the appropriate mode (MO, ED, or LT) with each frequency.

Notes

You can scan only one type of trunked frequency, either EDACS, Motorola, or LTR in a bank at one time. You can, however, mix conventional channels and frequencies in a bank.

If you are programming trunked frequencies for Motorola Type I and hybrid systems, you must ﬁrst program the ﬂeet map (see “Programming Fleet Maps”).

If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS system you must store them in the Logical Channel Number order (usually listed as LCN#). For example, LCN1 would go into channel 01 for the current bank, and LCN2 would go into channel 02.

If you are programming frequencies for an LTR system you must store them in the home repeater order. For example, home repeater order 1 would go into channel

01 for the current bank, and home repeater order 2 would go into channel 02.

Follow these steps to program trunked frequencies:

1. Press PGM and select the bank.

Notes

To move through the bank selection faster, press PGM then FUNC and hold down e or d. To move through the banks
