Motorola 800MHz splinter systems
Certain 800 MHz Motorola trunked radio systems operate using splinter channels that are in between the channels in the normal 800 MHz band plan. These systems are known as “splinter systems”. Your scanner features an offset mode to allow reception of these systems.
Note | If the radio appears to be trunking to the wrong |
| frequencies when monitoring an 800 MHz system, you |
| should try to configure the system for splinter operation. |
| Splinter systems exist only in the 800 MHz band, and only |
| use the 3600 bps control channel type. Setting splinter |
| configuration on VHF, UHF, 900 MHz and 800 MHz |
