Beyond the Basics

STEP 1: Selecting Trunking System Type

The first step in a trunk tracking system is storing the frequencies in one of the ten available banks in your scanner.

1.Press TRUNK in conventional programming mode. BANK and TRUNK will begin to flash on the display.

2.Select the bank in which you want to store the frequency by using the keypad.

3.Select the system you want to track by pressing e or d, then press E.

List of trunking systems are as follows:

E2-800 (Motorola Type II 800 MHz)

E2-Hi (Motorola Type II VHF 136-174 MHz) *

E2-UHF (Motorola Type II UHF 406-512 MHz) *

E1 (Motorola Type I and Hybrid) **

Ed (EDACS Wide Band: 9600 band)***

Ed-SCt (EDACS Scat)

Lt (LTR)

*Requires programming of a base and spacing frequency offset channel (See “Setting the Base, Spacing Frequencies and Offset Channel for Motorola VHF/UHF Trunked Systems”).

**Requires programming of a fleet map (See “Programming a User Fleet Map”).

***Requires programming of frequencies in exact order and location.

STEP 2: Programming Trunking Frequencies 1. Select Prog F and press E.

2. Use the keypad and ./CLR to enter a frequency for the trunked system. For example, enter 851.0125.

Note

To clear a mistake while entering a frequency, press ./CLR twice, and start over.
