Special EDACS® Features

AFS Partial Entry Feature

AFS is Uniden's method of encoding EDACS talkgroups. AFS stands for 'Agency-Fleet-Subfleet'.

AFS talkgroups are used in all EDACS reception -- in ID Search, ID Lockout and ID Scan Scan Lists. The powerful AFS Partial Entry feature designed into the UBC3300XLT lets you use either a complete talkgroup code, or just the most significant part.

This feature lets you expand or narrow searching and scanning to one of 4 levels.

By entering only the desired part of an AFS talkgroup,

you can select 2048 talkgroups,

128 talkgroups, 8 talkgroups, or a single talkgroup.

For example, you could program every talkgroup in a police department with just 4 key presses. You can use the AFS Partial Entry feature anywhere that you need to specify EDACS talkgroup.

Your UBC3300XLT can also enter or display EDACS talkgroups in decimal format (0-2047).

Select 2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK - select Bank number - / 0:EDCS ID FORM by rotating the VFO and pressing E. And change it to 2:DECIMAL and press E. You can use this feature to translate decimal talkgroups lists to the much more powerful AFS format.

Examples of how you might use AFS are shown above in the description of an EDACS trunked system, and elsewhere in this manual. It is very easy to use. Be sure to become familiar with AFS Partial Entry, and your scanning will become far more flexible and efficient.
