Set Site Type (EDACS Only) – EDACS Wide is the same as EDACS Standard and use a 9600 baud control channel. EDACS Narrow-band sites use a 4800 baud control channel.

Wide (Standard) or Narrow. The default setting is Wide.

Edit Band Plan (Motorola/P25 Only) – Band plans are required so the scanner can correctly determine the voice channel frequencies.

P25 Systems. Explicit mode systems (which comprise most systems in use) include all information needed to determine voice frequencies on the control channel, leave all entries blank. The system will automatically detect the band plan and fill in the entries. Implicit systems need you to supply the systems band plan with the Custom option for the scanner to correctly determine voice frequencies.

Select Plan - Scroll to each Band Plan 0-9,A-F, and press E/yes.

Input Base Freq - Enter the base frequency press E/yes.

Input Spacing - Enter the step size and press E/yes.

Press Menu to return and repeat for each band plan as needed.

Motorola Systems

800/900 Standard or 800 Splinter

The scanner will use the regular Motorola band plan.

Custom (rebanded) Motorola/VHF/UHF Systems. Custom band plans require that you enter both a lower and an upper base frequency value. The lower base frequency (or base) is always the base frequency as provided in the Radio Reference Database.

Use this Excel spreadsheet to calculate the upper base frequency value located at: http://info.uniden.com/twiki/pub/UnidenMan4/CalculatingUpperBaseFrequencies/ CustomBandPlanCalculator.xls

If you don’t have Excel you can download and install a viewer here, or do a simple Google search.

The upper base frequency can also be found using the Band Plan Calculator located at: http://info.uniden.com/twiki/bin/view/UnidenMan4/CalculatingUpperBaseFrequencies.

Also, look at Determining Base/Step/Offset for VHF/UHF Motorola Systems at Radio Reference.com.

For Standard 800 MHz Rebanded Systems, you need to set Band Plan 1 and Band Plan 2 as follows:

Band Plan	Lower Base Freq	Upper Base Freq	Offset	Polarity	Spacing
1	851..025	854..000	440	+	25 kHz
2	851..0125	868..9875	0	+	25 kHz
