7.While the S in Step blinks, repeatedly press or to select the step number: 5.0, 6.25, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 18.75, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 31.25, 35.0, 37.5, 40.0, 43.75, or 50.0 kHz, then press ENT.

8. Press PROG.

UHF-Hi (806-960 MHz)

To program 800 MHz Motorola trunking:

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

2.Press FUNC, then press or . The bank number increases or decreases by one. If you hold down or , the bank number increases or decreases continuously.

3.If necessary, repeatedly press MODE to select “Motorola.”

4.Press FUNC then 3. NORMAL appears.

5.Press or to select NORMAL or SPLINTER and press ENT. If you are uncertain about the base frequency, use NORMAL.

The base frequency in NORMAL is 851.0125 MHz. The base frequency in SPLINTER is 851.0000 MHz. . If you cannot receive with the NORMAL setting, change to SPLINTER.

EDACS Trunking Setup

EDACS (GE/Ericsson) systems transmit Talk Group ID data on a dedicated control channel. Scanning requires clear reception of the control channel at all times, so EDACS systems generally have a smaller usable area. You can manually select the data channel, but an external antenna can greatly improve EDACS scanning.

If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS system, you must store them in the Logical Channel Number order (usually listed as LCN#).
