FEATURES

Your RadioShack Handheld Scanner is one of a new generation of scanners designed to track Motorola Type I and II (such as Smartnet and 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 selecting a specific frequency for a transmission, the user simply selects a talk group. The trunking system automatically transmits the call on the first available frequency, and also sends a code that uniquely identifies that transmission.

Since the trunking system might send a call and its response 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 radio 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 transmissions, and is preprogrammed with service search banks for convenience. By pressing a single button, you can quickly search those frequencies
