  • Page 44: Trunked Systems

    Trunked Systems Your BC780XLT is designed to track three major types of trunked radio systems. These systems are described here. MOTOROLA - Including Type I, Type II, Hybrid, SMARTNET, and Privacy Plus. Motorola systems are widely used by public safety and business users. Most are on the 800 MHz band, and recent systems are appearing on other bands.

  • Page 45: Programming And Receiving Trunked Systems

    Programming and Receiving Trunked Systems Programming Trunking Frequencies The first step in tracking a trunked system is storing the frequencies in one of the 10 available banks in your scanner. Remember that you can only store one trunking system in each bank.

  • Page 46: Selecting Trunking Programming Menu Mode

    Important! 7. Press TRUNK for 2 seconds. A tone sounds, and E, M, or L icon appears on the display according to the system selected. Note: • To clear a mistake while entering the frequency, press (decimal key) repeatedly until the display is cleared.

    MANUAL lets to selectively listen to a talkgroup in your Scan Lists When receiving EDACS systems, remember that Uniden's AFS talkgroups give you powerful flexibility. In a few keystrokes, you can specify a single talkgroup, a fleet, or an entire agency in all the above modes.

  • Page 48: Id Hold And Direct Entry Id Hold Mode

    Talkgroups display differently in Motorola, EDACS and LTR systems. You should read the appropriate parts of this guide to understand the formats. The bottom line of the display indicates the Bank and the type of trunked system you are monitoring. You can change this to display a bank tag by using the System Menu. Regardless of the system, you won't know exactly who you are receiving until you listen for awhile, or refer to frequency guides or internet sites such as www.trunktracker.com.

  • Page 49: Restoring Locked-Out Ids

    2. To exit from this mode, press MENU repeatedly. Channel Activity Indicators The BC780XLT has 30 Channel Activity Indicators to visually display a trunked systems activity. You’ll always know which frequencies are in use and how much communication traffic is occurring.

  • Page 50: Scan Lists

    Scan Lists Each bank of your BC780XLT can be a trunk tracking bank and it can be a conventional scanning bank. When you designate a bank as a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply lists used to store your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of 100 IDs for each trunk tracking bank.
  • Page 51 “dash”. b. Press E . Hint: Remember that Uniden's AFS format allows you to enter full or partial EDACS IDs for powerful flexibility in all modes. Be sure to read the section "EDACS Reception" on page 49 to learn how this works.

  • Page 52: Id Scan Mode

    ID Scan Mode 1. Press SCAN to begin scanning the lists you have programmed. If you haven't programmed any IDs, ERROR appears for a few seconds. 2. To remove a Scan List from active scanning, press the number of the Scan List on your keypad. The Scan List indicator turns off, and the IDs in that list are not scanned.

  • Page 53: Setting Priority In Trunking Mode

    Setting Priority in Trunking Mode You can set priority in your trunking lists, just as you do in your conventional ones. You can set the priority by pressing and holding PRI for 2 seconds. After you’ve set up your Scan List, press PRI to activate it.

  • Page 54: I-Call (Motorola/Edacs)

    I-Call (Motorola/EDACS) I-Calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not heard by other system users. Your BC780XLT can receive these transmissions. How you receive I-Calls depends on whether you are in Search or Scan mode. During I-Call reception the display will show the Unit ID number of either the transmitting or receiving mobile unit, not a talkgroup.

  • Page 55: Multi-Track

    Note: Motorola I-CALL tracking performance may vary between systems. Multi-Track The BC780XLT allows you to track more than one system at a time. Here are some highlights of this feature: You can actually track up to 10 trunking systems at one time.
  • Page 56 SCAN & SEARCH Icons For the first time on a Uniden scanner, you will see both the SCAN and the SEARCH icons active at the same time. This indicates that the radio is scanning conventional banks and Trunk searching trunking banks.

  • Page 57: Edacs Reception

    Notice how the dotted line shows talkgroup 02-023 moving from channel to channel. Your BC780XLT can clearly and automatically follow this talkgroup, or any other, as you select. EDACS systems are organized in a logical way that keeps related talkgroups together. Your scanner is designed to take maximum advantage of this organization to make your scanning easy.

  • Page 58: An Edacs Trunked System

    An EDACS Trunked system ® This chart shows how talkgroups are organized within an EDACS system at the AGENCY level. The individual talkgroups cannot be shown at this scale because there are over 2000. However the chart can show the 16 Agencies in this example. The system is logical and easy to understand.

  • Page 59: Special Edacs Features

    AFS talkgroups are used in all EDACS reception -- in ID SEARCH, ID LOCKOUT and ID SCAN scanlists.The powerful AFS Partial Entry feature designed into the BC780XLT lets you use either a complete talkgroup code, or just the most significant part.

  • Page 60: Ltr Reception

    LTR ® Tracking ® (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 accompanies each transmission. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups, which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers.

  • Page 61: Motorola Reception

    Motorola Reception Motorola Tracking There are really two types of Motorola trunking systems. These are usually referred to as Type I and Type II systems. Type I only occurs on some 800 MHz systems. All VHF, UHF and 900 MHz trunking systems use Type II. One important distinction between these two systems is the amount of data transmitted by each radio when its push-to-talk button (PTT) is pressed.

  • Page 62: Fleet Map Programming

    If you have programmed a trunk tracking bank for Motorola type and press TRUNK to start Multi-Track, you will see user IDs display on your screen. Since the BC780XLT 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...

    3. Select the size code for the first block using L, M, or VFO. 4. Press E , SELECT, or VFO. The next available block displays. 5. Repeat step 3 and 4 until you have selected a size code for each block. For details about each size code, see Fleet Map Size Codes in the Appendix.

  • Page 64: Toggling The Status Bit

    An emergency call will occur on a unique talkgroup from its primary assignment, for example. Because the BC780XLT defaults to Status-Bit On mode, you never need to worry about missing these transmissions. If you have programmed talkgroup 33264 into Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency call within the group, you will hear it on 33264.

  • Page 65: Control Channel Only Mode

    Control Channel Only Mode When this function is activated, trunking is performed using control channel data only. Voice channel (also known as "working channel") frequencies do not have to be programmed into memory. When using this feature, the scanner will display "CC" and channel activity indicator bars will not operate.

  • Page 66: Disconnect Tone Detect Option

    Disconnect Tone Detect Option (End Code) When this function is disabled, the radio looks for squelch before returning to the control channel instead of waiting for the disconnect tone. Only in rare instances will you need to adjust the default settings. The condition to return to control channels depends on whether the signal is present or not.
