SETTING SQUELCH FOR
THE TRUNK TRACKING
MODE
Your scanner's squelch setting is au-
tomatically adjusted in the trunking
mode, which means you do not need
to manually adjust squelch while
tracking trunked transmissions. How-
ever, the squelch setting can affect
how fast your scanner acquires the
data channel, and, in some instances,
can prevent your scanner from acquir-
ing the data channel at all.
We recommend you set
this position before selecting a trunked

PROGRAMMING
TRUNKED
FREQUENCIES
Before you program your scanner to
track a trunked system, consider the
following:
• Valid trunked system frequencies
range from 851.0000–868.9875 in
12.5 kHz steps.
• You can use any of your scanner's
banks as either a trunk tracking
bank or conventional scanning
bank, but you cannot mix the two.
• The scanner only scans one
trunked system at a time. Al-
though you can store frequencies
for more than one trunked system
in one of your scanner's banks,
the scanner only scans the fre-
quencies associated with the first
data channel it finds.
Before scanning a trunked system's
transmissions, you must store the
trunked system's frequencies in one of
the banks in your scanner by following
these steps.
