Specifying the Correct System Type

In order for trunk tracking to work properly, you have to specify the correct system type when you create the system. Here are some tips for selecting the correct type:

Use online resources, such as the www.radioreference.com database, to identify the system type.

Even though a system has digital channels, it is not necessarily a P25 system. Note that the BCT15 is not designed to process P25 signals.

These should be entered as Motorola 800 Standard and not P25.

EDACS Wide is the same as EDACS Standard.

EDACS Networked sites are EDACS Narrow
