Programming Motorola Vhf And Uhf Trunking Systems - Radio Shack PRO-96 Owner's Manual

Programming Motorola VHF and UHF Trunking Systems

Your scanner is capable of receiving Motorola trunked radio systems operating in the
VHF and UHF bands. To monitor these systems it is necessary to program the scanner
with three additional parameters, the base frequency, step and offset.
Hint
Base frequency, step and offset vary for each individual UHF trunking system. You
can get information about these frequencies for the trunking system you want to scan
using www.trunkscanner.com, other Internet sources, or locally published
guidebooks.
Systems with multiple channel ranges can be programmed using PC application
software.
Follow these steps to program Motorola trunking frequencies in the VHF or UHF bands:
1. Press PGM then TRUNK to enter the ID program mode.
