Trunking Operations
trunking operations
The scanner can track transmissions for up to 10 Motorola Type I, Type II, hybrid, EDACS or LTR analog trunking systems. When the scanner finishes checking activity in the trunked system, it scans other conventional frequencies in the bank.
For trunked reception, set the squelch at the center position. If set too high, it could prevent your scanner from locking on the control channel reliably. If it is set too low, it can delay finding the control channel. The best setting is critical for monitoring trunked systems.
programming trunked frequencies
To program trunked frequencies, complete the following steps:
1. Press E/PGM in conventional mode to set the scanner in programming mode. Then, press TRUNK. Your scanner beeps, then all the bank numbers flash.
2. Press the number key for the desired target storage bank.
3. Press 
or 
to select a trunking system type, then press E/PGM. You can select from the following systems:
You See |
| Trunk System | |
E2 | – 800 | ........................................Motorola Type II, 800 MHz frequencies | |
E2 | – 900 | ........................................Motorola Type II, 900 MHz frequencies | |
E2 | – Hi | Motorola Type II, VHF | MHz) frequencies |
E2 | – UHF | ..................... Motorola Type II, UHF | MHz) frequencies |
E1 | .................................................................. | Motorola Type I, and Hybrid | |
Ed | ............................................................. | EDACS Wide Band: 9600 baud | |
Ed – SCt | EDACS Scat | ||
Lt |
| LTR | |
4. Prog F appears, then press E/PGM. The scanner automatically selects the first channel in the selected banks.
5. Use the number keys to enter a valid frequency within the trunk system, then press E/PGM. The bank number, the channel number, and E (EDACS), M (Motorola) or L (LTR) appears depending upon the trunk system selected.
