Uniden BCD996T manual Startup Configuration, Multi-Site Trunking, Setup/Operation

data matches a talk group ID that you have stored in the talk group ID list and have not locked out. LTR systems are frequently programmed so that each radio has a unique user ID.

Startup Configuration

Setup/Operation

The Startup Configuration option lets you quickly and automatically lock and unlock systems based on your desired configuration. Simply hold down a number button while powering on the scanner or while the opening screens are displayed. Systems assigned to that number are automatically unlocked and systems assigned to other numbers are automatically locked. Systems that are not assigned to any startup configuration are left unchanged.

You could use this feature to give you quick, single-press Quick Key access to your favorite systems even when you travel to other locations. For example, if you program your scanner as follows:

System/Site Quick Key	Configuration 1	Configuration 2
1	Fort Worth	Phoenix
2	Tarrant County	Mesa
3	Arlington	Mariposa Cnty

When you are in the Fort Worth area, press [1] while turning on the scanner. System Quick Keys [1], [2], and [3] then allow you to select between the local systems. When you travel to the Phoenix area, hold [2] while turning on the scanner. Now, the Fort Worth systems are locked out and System Quick Keys [1], [2], and [3] allow selection between the Phoenix-area systems.

Multi-Site Trunking

Some systems covering a very large geographic area use multiple antenna sites that each operate on different frequencies, but that use the same Talk Group ID’s for traffic. When programming such a system, you program each site’s frequencies and other settings into the system, then program the channels into channel groups within that system. Each site can have its own quick key, so you can turn each individual site on or off while you scan. Since all sites share all the channels within the system, multi-site trunking is much more efficient than programming each site as a separate system.
