Your RadioShack Handheld Scanner is one of a new generation of scanners designed to track MotorolaType I and II (such as Smartnetand Privacy Plus) and hybrid analog trunking systems, and GE/Ericsson (EDACS) type systems, which are extensively used in many communication systems.

Trunking communications systems let a large group of 2- way radio users (or even different groups of 2-way radio users) efficiently use a set of frequencies. Instead of se- lecting a specific frequency for a transmission, the user simply selects a talk group. The trunking system auto- matically transmits the call on the first available frequen- cy, and also sends a code that uniquely identifies that transmission.

Since the trunking system might send a call and its re- sponse on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communications using a regular scanner. The trunking scanner monitors the data sent with a 2-way ra- dio transmission, so you can hear the call and response for that user and more easily "follow" the conversation.

The scanner also lets you scan conventional transmis- sions, and is preprogrammed with service search banks for convenience. By pressing a single button, you can quickly search those frequencies most commonly used by public service and other agencies.

This scanner gives you direct access to over 59,000 fre- quencies including those used by police and fire depart- ments, ambulance services, government agencies, air, and amateur radio services.

Your scanner includes these features:

Simultaneous Trunking Operation — tracks two trunk- ing systems (Motorola and EDACS) and conventional systems at the same time.

Automatic Channel Programming — automatically de- termines the group trunking frequencies, for Motorola
