To properly map the raw Type I data to the correct fleet- subfleet format, you must program the correct fleet map into the scanner. Fleet map information is widely avail- able on the Internet for most Type I systems in use.

EDACS Mode
You can set your scanner so it decodes the talk group IDs used with EDACS (GE/Ericsson) trunking systems. This setting is called the EDACS mode.
EDACS systems are trunking systems used primarily by business or private communications service providers, as well as by some public safety organizations. EDACS systems transmit active talk group information only on a dedicated control channel.
EDACS frequencies are organized in a specific order. Each frequency is assigned a Logical Channel Number (LCN). For the scanner to correctly switch to an active frequency, you must program the frequencies in LCN or- der, starting with )<DFIPýòñ. EDACS talk group IDs are entered as a
When there is activity on an EDACS system, that infor- mation is sent out on the control channel. The scanner decodes the ID for the active talk group. In the open
