Startup Configuration

Setup/Operation

The Startup Configuration option lets you quickly and automatically lock and unlock
systems based on your desired configuration. Simply hold down a number button
while powering on the scanner or while the opening screens are displayed. Systems
assigned to that number are automatically unlocked and systems assigned to other
numbers are automatically locked. Systems that are not assigned to any startup
configuration are left unchanged.
You could use this feature to give you quick, single-press Quick Key access to your
favorite systems even when you travel to other locations. For example, if you
program your scanner as follows:
When you are in the Fort Worth area, press [1] while turning on the scanner. System
Quick Keys [1] [2] , , and [3] then allow you to select between the local systems.
When you travel to the Phoenix area, hold [2] while turning on the scanner. Now, the
Fort Worth systems are locked out and System Quick Keys [1] [2] , , and [3] allow
selection between the Phoenix-area systems.

Multi-Site Trunking

Some systems covering a very large geographic area use multiple antenna sites that
each operate on different frequencies, but that use the same Talk Group ID's for
traffic. When programming such a system, you program each site's frequencies and
other settings into the system, then program the channels into channel groups within
that system. Each site can have its own quick key, so you can turn each individual
site on or off while you scan. Since all sites share all the channels within the system,
multi-site trunking is much more efficient than programming each site as a separate
system.
