Radio Shack 20-163 Trunking Setup, Defining a Trunking Bank, To set a default tuning frequency

tune direction, press  or . When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops.

4.Press PSE to monitor the frequency.

The transmission signal level is indicated by the 5 dots.

To set a default tuning frequency:

1. Press MAN.

2.(Optional) Use the number keys to enter the frequency number.

3.Press FUNC, then TUNE. The scanner saves the frequency. For example, if you save 145.31000 MHz, when you press TUNE, the scanner starts tuning at 145.31000 MHz.

Trunking Setup

Instead of transmitting on a specific frequency, trunking systems choose one of several frequencies during a 2-way radio transmission and simultaneously transmit a Talk Group ID that identifies the 2-way radio user. This allows trunking systems to allocate fewer frequencies to multiple 2-way radio users.

Defining a Trunking Bank

You can define any of the 10 banks as a trunking bank, but each bank can only scan for one system: Motorola, EDACS (GE/Ericsson), or LTR (EF Johnson).

Trunking banks can contain both trunking and non-trunking channels.

To define a Trunking Bank:

1.Press PROG, then press TRUNK to enter the ID program mode.

2.Press FUNC, then use  or  to select a bank.
