programming trunked systems

If you are just getting started with trunked system monitoring or have any questions about how your PRO-2096 scanner operates when tracking trunked radio systems. For best results, program only one trunking system in each channel storage bank of your scanner. Your scanner will lock on to the ﬁrst active control channel it ﬁnds in a channel storage bank and follow the activity from that trunking system.

Motorola analog, digital, and

APCO-25 systems

1.Press PROG and FUNC then e or d to select the desired channel storage bank to program.

2.Press TRUNK to access the ID list and set the correct trunking bank type. If the bank has never been programmed with a trunking system, the scanner will display Not trunked! Press mode.

3.Press MODE until Motorola appears in the display. This sets the channel storage bank for Motorola operation.

4.Press PROG to return to the channel storage bank.

5.Select a channel to begin programming trunking system frequencies. Use direct channel entry or the e or d.

6.Enter the trunking frequency and press ENT. If necessary, press MODE to change the receiving mode to MO (Motorola).

7.Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to enter the other trunking system control channel frequencies for the system you wish to monitor.

Notes	You can also press FUNC, TRUNK to access the ID list from
	manual mode.
	When monitoring Motorola trunked radio systems, it is
	only necessary to program the trunking control channel.
