Trunking Operations

trunking operations
The scanner can track transmissions for up to 10 Motorola Type I,
Type II, hybrid, EDACS or LTR analog trunking systems. When the
scanner fi nishes checking activity in the trunked system, it scans
other conventional frequencies in the bank.
For trunked reception, set the squelch at the center position. If set
too high, it could prevent your scanner from locking on the control
channel reliably. If it is set too low, it can delay fi nding the control
channel. The best setting is critical for monitoring trunked systems.

then all the bank numbers fl ash.
2
. Press the number key for the desired target storage bank.
3
. Press
E/PGM. You can select from the following systems:
You See
E2 – 800 ........................................Motorola Type II, 800 MHz frequencies
E2 – 900 ........................................Motorola Type II, 900 MHz frequencies
E2 – Hi ........................ Motorola Type II, VHF (136-174 MHz) frequencies
E2 – UHF ..................... Motorola Type II, UHF (400-512 MHz) frequencies
E1 .................................................................. Motorola Type I, and Hybrid
Ed ............................................................. EDACS Wide Band: 9600 baud
Ed – SCt .................................................................................... EDACS Scat
Lt..... ........................................................................................................ LTR

. Prog F appears, then press E/PGM. The scanner automatically
selects the fi rst channel in the selected banks.
5
. Use the number keys to enter a valid frequency within the trunk
system, then press E/PGM. The bank number, the channel
number, and E (EDACS), M (Motorola) or L (LTR) appears
depending upon the trunk system selected.
