Programming and Receiving
Digital and Trunked Systems
There are three steps for programming a trunked sytem:
1.Program the Trunk Type – What type of system will the scanner be tracking, Motorola Type II, Type I, EDACS, LTR, etc.
2.Program the Trunked Frequencies – Within a trunked system, the frequencies are shared among all the users, called “Talk Groups”.
•Within the bank you decide which channels to program the trunked frequencies.
3.Program the Talk Groups – Within the trunked system, each agency or department is assigned a Talk Group ID. This ID must be programmed into the scanner in order for it to monitor that specific agency or department.
•When programming you decide which “Location” to program the “Talk Groups”. This is similar to how you program frequencies into channels. Here you need to program Talk Group ID’s into Locations.
