The next available block appears on the display.

6.Repeat step 5 until you have selected a size code for each block.

For details about each size code, see "Fleet Map Size Codes" in the Appendix.

Programming a Hybrid System

A Hybrid system is simply a Type I system with some blocks designated as Type II blocks. To program a Hybrid system, follow the steps listed in "Programming a User Fleet Map" in

the previous section. However, if you want a block to be Type II, select Size Code . When you begin searching a trunking bank with a Hybrid Fleet Map, you will see both types of system IDs. That is, Type II IDs usually appear as an even number without a dash; Type I IDs appear as a three or four digit number, followed by a hyphen, followed by a one or two digit number.

Setting the Base, Spacing Frequencies and Offset Channel for Motorola VHF/UHF Trunked Systems

To properly track Motorola VHF and UHF trunked systems, you must enter what is known as the Base, Spacing Frequencies and Offset Channels for each system.

To find these out, check the scanner.uniden.com or www.trunktracker.com and other web sites and frequency resources.

To enter the Base, Spacing Frequencies and Offset Channel: (You can set up to three sets of these, but almost all systems only use one set)

1. Press and hold TRUNK for 1.5 seconds and select the bank you want to change.
