Why isn't my scanner acquiring a data channel?
SQUELCH is not correctly adjusted for trunk scanning. Adjust squelch for trunk scanning.
See "setting squelch for the trunking mode".
Why is the frequency used for the data channel missing?
Press SCAN to search for the data channel (see "programming trunked frequencies").
Why am I missing replies to conversations?
The system you are trying to track is a Type I system, and the scanner is set to scan Type II
systems. Set the scanner to receive Type I trunked frequencies. See "scanning type I and
hybrid trunked systems".
The selected fleet map is incorrect. Try another preset fleet map or program your own fleet
map (see "scanning type I and hybrid trunked systems").
Enter all of the trunk's frequencies: see "programming trunked frequencies".
How do I reset my scanner?
