Setting Squelch for the Trunking Mode | Radio Shack PRO-92 manual

SETTING SQUELCH FOR THE TRUNKING MODE

Your scanner automatically mutes the audio during trunk scanning when it decodes control channel data. Howev- er, we recommend you turn SQUELCH clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel.

PROGRAMMING TRUNKING

FREQUENCIES

You program trunking frequencies just like non-trunked frequencies, except that you must store the appropriate mode (MO, ED, or LT) with each frequency.

Notes:

•You can store only one trunked EDACs and Motor- ola channel in a bank. You can, however, mix LTR and conventional channels in a bank.

•If you are scanning UHF trunking frequencies under the 512 MHz range using subaudible data and are not using a base frequency and offset, lock out all data channels. See “Programming Motorola Trunk- ing Systems (UHF-Lo)” on Page 51 and “Locking Out Channels or Frequencies” on Page 41. Turn off the scanner to remove the lockouts.

•If you are programming trunked frequencies for Motorola Type I and hybrid systems, you must first program the fleet map (see “Programming Fleet Maps” on Page 53).

•You must store frequencies using the subaudible trunking method in banks, mode by mode.

Follow these steps to program trunked frequencies.

1.Press PGM and select the bank, then press TRUNK to enter the ID program mode.

2.Repeatedly press MODE to select LT for EF Johnson, MO for Motorola, or ED for the EDACS (GE/Ericsson) system to scan. This sets the talk group ID decoding method to be used for the bank.
