Beyond the Basics

Notes

Base and offset frequencies vary for each type of trunking system. You can get information about these frequencies for the trunking system you want to scan using www. trunkscanner.com, other Internet sources, or locally published guidebooks.

If you try to program an offset frequency in the UHF-Hi bands (806-960 MHz), the scanner ignores the entry.

Follow these steps to program Motorola trunking frequencies in the UHF-Lo band:

1.Press PGM then TRUNK to enter the ID program mode.

2.Press FUNC and press (or hold) e or d to select the bank.

3.Press MODE and select MOT.

4.Press FUNC then 2. The display indicates Custom Range 1/3 on ﬁrst line, Base: 406.0000 on the second line, Offset: 380 on the third line and Step:25.0kHz on the bottom line.

5.While B in Base blinks, if necessary, press the desired Base frequency with the number keys and press ENT. Conﬁrm the entry. If it is incorrect, press the number keys again to set the base frequency. After you conﬁrm the input, press ENT again.

6.While O in Offset blinks, if necessary, enter the offset number and press ENT. Conﬁrm the entry. If it is incorrect, then press the number keys again to set the frequency. After you conﬁrm the input, press ENT again.

7.While S in Step blinks, repeatedly press e or d to select the step number, 5.0, 6.25, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 18.75, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 31.25, 35.0, 37.5, 40.0, 43.75, or 50.0 kHz, then press ENT.

8.Press PGM to enter the program mode. Store the trunking IDs into the sub-bank in the same bank.
