Setting the Squelch
Since Squelch is automatically adjusted in trunking mode,
it isn’t necessary to manually adjust the squelch control
while trunk tracking. However, the squelch setting you
select before you begin trunk tracking can affect how fast
your scanner acquires the data channel, and, in some
instances, the squelch setting can prevent your scanner
from acquiring the data channel at all.
Set
SQUELCH
in this
position before
selecting a trunking
bank.
Note: You can
change this
recommended
setting, if necessary,
to provide better
performance in your
area.
Programming Trunking Frequencies
Before you start programming your scanner to track a
trunked system, consider the following:
You can only program one trunking system in each
bank of your scanner.
Trunking frequencies must be entered while in the
Trunking Programming mode.
If you’re in the Trunking Programming mode, you
cannot select channels in other banks.
For example, if you are programming Bank 4, you
can only select channels 91-120 with the(or)
keys.
