Page 43 file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/RadioSystemsOverview.html Radio Systems Overview There are two basic types of radio systems: conventional systems and trunked systems. Conventional radio systems Trunked radio systems Trunked system basics How a trunked system works A real life example Conventional radio systems In a conventional radio system, each group of users is assigned one (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for repeater systems). For example, the police in your area might operate on 460.500 MHz, the fire department on 154.445 MHz, the highway department on 37.900 MHz, etc.
Page 44 file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/RadioSystemsOverview.html How a trunked system works A typical communication on a trunked system goes something like this: 1. A user selects the channel they want to communicate on and presses the PTT button on the side of their radio. 2. This sends a channel request message to the controller that the user wants to start a transmission on the Talk Group ID (the channel) that they selected.
Page 45 SWAT, Narcotics, and Traffic each have one or more dedicated channels for their use as well.

Their radio is programmed up at the radio shop.
Page 47: System Type
file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/DecipheringTrunkedSystems.html System Type There are five major types of scannable systems; some of these also have subtypes. In the RadioReference database, you can generally determine the radio system type by looking at the line labeled System Type at the top of the screen (inside the red square in the screenshot). file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Doc...nts/temp/UnidenManBeta/DecipheringTrunkedSystems.html (2 of 5)4/7/2009 10:08:39 AM...
Page 48 file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/DecipheringTrunkedSystems.html P25 Systems These are identified in the RadioReference database as Project 25 Standard . If the System Type line says anything else, then it is not a P25 system (even though it might have some P25 channels). LTR Systems These systems are identified as LTR Standard in the system type.

These non-scannable systems are identified in the system type as: EDACS w/ESK LTR Passport OpenSky Standard MPT1327 Tetra System Voice The other line inside the red square in the screenshot is System Voice , which summarizes the kinds of voice modulation used on the system.

Page 51 file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/LocationBasedScanning.html Location-based Scanning Location-based scanning allows you to control which systems/sites and channel groups are scanned based on your exact location. This frees you from having to manually enable and disable systems or channel groups as you change location. To use Location-Based scanning, you need to have the following: the location for the center point for each system/site or channel group you want to control the radius or distance from the center point you want to set as the range for each system/site or channel group...
Page 52 file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/LocationBasedScanning.html targets that have a well- defined jurisdiction and their transmission are only relevant when you are within that jurisdiction. To use the geopolitical approach, find the geographical center of the scanning target's territory (whether city, county, district, precinct, or other agency jurisdiction), and set these coordinates as your center point location.

Page 55 file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/LocationBasedScanning.html Finding an antenna location You can find the physical location of antennas using the databases available at Radio Referenceor the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration site. Both sites list the latitude, longitude, and height of the antenna, and both sites can map the exact location for you. (Radio Reference is more user-friendly, so it's easier to file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/LocationBasedScanning.html (5 of 7)4/7/2009 10:08:42 AM...
Page 56 file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/POpitz/My%20Documents/temp/UnidenManBeta/LocationBasedScanning.html find what you're looking for.) Combining for Efficiency Because many trunked systems have both multiple antenna sites and multiple agencies with differing geographic boundaries, you may want to combine the approaches: 1. Use the antenna centric approach at the site level: set the geographic coordinates of the antenna as the central location for each site.
