System Frequencies

Enter the frequencies used by the system. Motorola systems can use up to 28 frequencies. Place an asterisk or other mark next to frequencies identified as data channels.

Fleet Map (Type I or Type I/Type II Hybrid Only)

Fill in the fleet map used by this agency.

Band Plan (VHF/UHF and P25 only)

For Motorola VHF/UHF system

A band plan is required so the scanner can correctly determine the voice channel frequency. Fill in the band plan used by this agency, consisting of:

• Base frequency

• Step frequency

• Channel offset

You can enter up to three band plans.

For Motorola P25 system

Usually, the scanner stores the band plan automatically when it receives the band plan from a repeater. Therefore, the user doesn't have to set the band plan in most systems. The plan must be set manually only when the repeater doesn’t send the band plan. If you set the band plan manually, it is necessary to input the following item.

• Base frequency

• Step frequency

Group Name and Quick Key

Each “Motorola System Worksheet 2” documents the settings for one channel group within a system. If you have fewer channels in the group than fits on the page, you can skip a line and enter an additional group of channels (enter the group information in the line you skipped). If you have more channels for the group than will fit on the page, use additional pages.

Fill in the key you want to press with to quickly activate/deactivate the channel group. You can assign the same quick key to multiple groups within a system.

Talk Group ID-Alpha Tag-Alert

Fill in the details for each channel you want to store in this channel group.
