Fleet Map ProgrammingSelecting Preset Fleet MapProgramming a User Fleet Map
If you have programmed a trunk tracking bank for Motorola, press to startMulti-
Track,and you will see user IDs on the display. Since the UBCT8 defaults to Type II
systems, all the IDs will appear as numbers. However,if you notice a mix of odd and even
user IDs, for example 6477, 2560, 6481, 6144, 1167,etc., then you are probably monitoring
either aType I or Hybrid systems.
Youmay also notice that you are missing responses when you hold on an active ID. Unlike
TypeII, Type I/Hybrid systems require a Fleet Map that sets specific Fleet-Subfleet
parameters.It is easy to select a Fleet Map for your scanner; what is not always easy is
selecting or programming a map that matches your particulararea.
There are 16 preset Fleet Mapslisted in the Appendix that you can choose, and these are
usually a good place to startwhen setting up a Type I/Hybrid trunk tracking bank. If you
choose a preset map and still have difficultyfollowing complete conversations, then you'll
have to program your own Fleet Map.

2. Use the or key to select (Type1 system), then press .
3. Use the or key to select , then press .
4. Use the or key to select the map you want, then press
.The scanner returns to FLEET Map list item.

example, 100-12, 100-9, 000-12, 400-8, etc.
See "User Defined Fleet Mapsin the Appendix" for
more information aboutType I IDs.
How do you know if the preset map is correct?You will have to listen to see if you're
following complete conversations. If not, you should try another preset map.
