Motorola 800MHz splinter systems

Certain 800 MHz Motorola trunked radio systems operate using splinter channels that are in between the channels in the normal 800 MHz band plan. These systems are known as “splinter systems”. Your scanner features an offset mode to allow reception of these systems.

Note

If the radio appears to be trunking to the wrong

 

frequencies when monitoring an 800 MHz system, you

 

should try to configure the system for splinter operation.

 

Splinter systems exist only in the 800 MHz band, and only

 

use the 3600 bps control channel type. Setting splinter

 

configuration on VHF, UHF, 900 MHz and 800 MHz

 

APCO-25 systems will have no effect.
