every frequency for each site in the network as a separate trunked radio system.

You will find that networked EDACS systems are configured in the preprogrammed data in one of three different ways, depending on the space available in the V-Scanner where the networked EDACS system can be found, and depending on the type of system and size of the jurisdiction where it is deployed. The “Preprogrammed Data Directory” lists these as Methods 1, 2, and 3.

Where a networked EDACS system has been configured using Method 1, we have assigned individual sites to individual Scan Lists. By turning all of the Scan Lists on (for every site in the networked EDACS system), you should be able to achieve a sort of “Roaming” functionality, as described above in the section above regarding Motorola and P25 Multi-site systems. You can toggle the scan lists on and off to exclude certain sites in the network from scan operation.

Where a networked EDACS system has been configured using Method 2, we have assigned one or more sites to the same Scan Lists. Typically, these sites will be located in rural areas, and the scanner should find and use the best site in the group for scanning. If necessary, you can lock out the TSYS objects associated with systems that you do not want to scanner to monitor.

The scanner should find and use the best site in the group for scanning. If necessary, you can lock out the TSYS objects associated with systems that you do not want to scanner to try and monitor.

20-106, 20-197 specifications

Radio Shack, a name synonymous with electronics retail, has long been celebrated for offering a wide range of products catering to both amateur and professional enthusiasts. Among its notable offerings are the Radio Shack 20-197 and 20-106 models, two distinct multimeters that provide outstanding functionality for both basic and advanced electrical measurements.

The Radio Shack 20-197 is a digital multimeter renowned for its reliability and user-friendliness. This model incorporates a robust set of features ideal for both novice hobbyists and experienced technicians alike. With an easy-to-read LCD display, the 20-197 can measure AC and DC voltage, current, resistance, and continuity. This versatility is complemented by its ability to test diodes, ensuring users can tackle a wide array of tasks with one compact device. Additionally, the multimeter is designed with a protective casing to prevent accidental drops or damage, making it an excellent choice for on-the-go evaluations in various environments.

On the other hand, the Radio Shack 20-106 model caters more specifically to the needs of electronics enthusiasts. One of its standout features is the temperature measurement capability, which broadens the range of potential applications, allowing users to monitor circuit temperatures directly. Like the 20-197, it also measures voltage, current, and resistance, but with heightened accuracy and additional precision settings that professionals may find essential for more intricate projects. The 20-106’s clear and intuitive interface simplifies the measurement process, making it accessible even for those less familiar with electronic diagnostics.

Both multimeters utilize advanced technologies to ensure accuracy and durability. They are equipped with automatic ranging, which eliminates the need for manual adjustment, streamlining the measuring process. The battery-saving features in both models, such as automatic shut-off, also enhance usability, prolonging battery life during periods of inactivity.

In summary, the Radio Shack 20-197 and 20-106 multimeters exemplify quality and functionality in electronic measurement tools. With their extensive features, user-friendly designs, and advanced technologies, these models continue to serve both amateur hobbyists and dedicated professionals looking to simplify their electronic evaluation tasks. Whether measuring voltage levels, assessing circuit temperatures, or testing components, these multimeters make an invaluable addition to any toolbox.
