SCANNING A TRUNKED BANK

You can scan one trunked bank at a time. Once you have stored frequen- cies for a trunked system in one or more of the 10 available banks and you are scanning non-trunked fre- quencies, follow these steps to begin trunk scanning.

1.Press TRUNK. The indicators for all banks flash.

2.Use the number keys to enter the number for the trunked bank you want to scan, then press SEARCH to begin searching for the trunk’s data channel (the channel that controls the trunk). SEARCH flashes as the scanner searches for a data channel. When the scanner finds it, it begins trunk tracking.

If you entered all of the trunk’s fre- quencies, you should be able to follow conversations between broadcasters even when they change frequencies. IDs, which represent different service groups, appear.
