Trunk Scanning
The scanner tracks transmissions that use the Motorola Type I, Type II,
hybrid, EDACS, and LTR analog trunking systems.
Simultaneous Trunking
The scanner allows you to track up to 20 systems at a time. You can trunk
scan or search and scan conventional frequencies at the same time. You can
program conventional frequencies in the same bank as trunking systems, but
only one trunking system per bank.
After the scanner is finished checking activity in the trunked system, it scans
other conventional frequencies in the bank. (Only trunking frequencies are
programmed in Trunk Mode.)
If a system is inactive for 1 second and there are no conventional channels
in the bank, the scanner starts scanning the next selected trunk bank. If
you turned DELAY on, the scanner starts scanning the next trunk bank after
about 2 seconds.
Setting Squelch for the Trunking Mode
For trunked reception, a good squelch setting is in the center of the range
with the white marker pointing to the rear of the scanner. If it is set too high, it
could prevent your scanner from locking on the control channel reliably. If it is
set too low, it will slightly delay finding the control channel. The best setting is
the same as for conventional reception and is critical for monitoring trunked
systems.
Trunk Operation
Programming Trunked Frequencies
Programming trunking frequencies is the same as non-trunked frequencies,
except that you must store the appropriate mode (MO, ED, or LT) with each
frequency.
Notes:
•
You can scan only one type of trunked frequency, either EDACS (GE/
Ericsson), Motorola, LTR (EF Johnson), or EDCAS SCAT in a bank at one
time. You can, however, mix conventional channels and frequencies in a
bank.
•
