LTR ® Reception

LTR® Tracking

LTR® (Logic Trunked Radio) systems are trunking systems used primarily by business or
private communications service providers, such as taxicabs,delivery trucks, and repair
services.These systems encode all trunking information as digital subaudible data that
accompanieseach transmission. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific
talkgroups,which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers.
These numbers are in the formAHHUUU, where:
A=Area code (0 or 1)
H= Home repeater (01 through 20)
U= User ID (000 through 254)
When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the LTRmode, it first
decodes the LTRdata included with the transmission. In the ID Search mode, the scanner
stopson the transmission and displays the talkgroup ID on the display. In the ID Scan mode,
the scanner only stopson the transmission if the LTR data matches a talkgroup ID that you
have stored in the bank’stalkgroup ID list and have not locked out.
LTRsystems are frequently programmed so that each radio has a unique ID code.
