Saving Trunking Channels

Trunking channels are defined using the same procedure for non- trunking channels. In each bank, you can mix channel modes, including conventional, but you can scan only one trunking mode at a time, either EDACS, Motorola, or LTR.

Because Motorola control frequencies change daily, you should save all the control frequencies in the same bank. If you do not know the control frequency, save all the Motorola frequencies in the same bank.

EDACS frequencies are assigned Logical Channel Numbers (LCN) and organized in a specific order. To scan correctly, you must program the frequencies in LCN order, starting with Memory 01.

Trunked modes (MO, ED, and LT) can only be selected for frequencies above 137 MHz that use trunking operations.

For information about adding text tags to a channel, see “Text Tags” on Page 43.

Trunk Scanning

In each bank, you can mix conventional channels and frequencies in a bank. However, you can scan only one trunking mode at a time, either EDACS, Motorola, or LTR.

Press Scan. The scanner scans through unlocked channels in active banks. To focus on trunk scanning, you can turn off banks that contain only conventional channels. To change the scanning direction, press
