Programming Trunking Frequencies
There are three stepsfor programming a trunked system:
1. Program theTrunk Type – What type of system will the scanner be tracking, Motorola
TypeII, Type I, EDACS, LTR, etc.
2. Program theTrunked Frequencies – Within a trunked system, the frequencies are
shared among all the users, called “TalkGroups”.
3. Program theTalk Groups – Within the trunked system, each agency or department is
assigned aTalk Group ID. This ID must be programmed into the scanner in order for it
to monitor that specific agency or department.
Before you startprogramming your scanner to track a trunked system, consider the
following:
• Youcan only program one trunking system in each bank of your scanner.
• Trunkedfrequencies must be entered while in the Trunk Programming mode.
• If you’re in theTrunk Programming mode, you cannot select channels in other banks.
For example, if you are programming Bank 4, you can only select channels 151-200
with the or key.
• If you are programming an EDACS ® trunked system, you must
enter the frequencies in a specific order.Check the frequency guide included with the
radio and the listed web sites for details.
The first step in aTrunk Tracking system is storing the frequencies in one of the five
available banks in your scanner.
1. Press for 1.5 seconds.
Youwill hear two beeps, and and will begin to flash on the display.
2. Select the bank you want to store the frequency by using the
keypad.
3. Select the system you want to track by using the or key,
then press .
List of trunking systems as follows:
E2-800 (MotorolaType II 800 MHz)
E2-Hi (MotorolaType II VHF MHz) *
E2-UHF (MotorolaType II UHF 406-512 MHz) *
E1 (MotorolaType I and Hybrid) **
Ed (EDACS ® Wide Band: 9600 baud)***
Ed SCt (EDACS Scat)
Lt (LTR)**
* Requires programming of a Base and Spacingfrequency Offset channel (See page 45).
** Requires programming of a Fleet map (See page44).
