Programming Trunked Radio Systems

[MENU] Program System F

New System F

Then, select the system type:

MOT TYPE 1 — Motorola Type I systems

MOT TYPE 2/P25 — Motorola Type II and APCO 25 systems

EDCS WIDE/NARROW — EDACS Wide and Narrow systems

EDCS SCAT — EDACS SCAT systems

LT — LTR Systems

The scanner creates an empty system with a default name of System n x. Note that “n” is a number that increments as you add new systems. The “x” on the right side of the display is M for Motorola system, E for EDACS systems, and L for LTR systems. After creating the system:

1.Set the system-level settings in “Programming System Settings” that apply to the type of system you selected.

2.Set up at least one site for the system as described in “Programming Sites” on “Programming Sites” on Page 76.

3.To scan specific channels, create one or more channel groups with channels as described in “Programming Channel Groups.”

Programming System Settings

Throughout the following sections, you will notice a heading on the right, such as MECL in the next section. This helps designate the system types to which the section applies. In this section, the instructions apply to M (Motorola), E (EDACS Wide/Narrow), C (Conventional), and L (LTR).

Editing the System Name MECL

Each system name can be up to 16 characters. Abbreviate as necessary to fit. For Motorola and EDACS Wide/Narrow systems, the system name only appears in the scanner menu’s Program System listings. It is not shown during scanning. For other systems, the system name alternates with the Channel group when the scanner stops on a channel.

The default system names include the following letter in the 16th position to indicate the system type: M = Motorola; E = EDACS; L = LTR; C = Conventional;
