You can program trunking frequencies and conventional frequencies into the same bank to utilize channel space better. That way,
you don't have to waste a whole bank on a trunking system that has only 5 channels. I typically put my trunking frequencies in
starting at the beginning of the banks (1,51,101, 151,etc.) because you'll rarely have more than 25 of those (for each trunking
system) and usually more conventional frequencies. This will help you to organize your frequencies better for programming. See the
individual sections on programming trunked systems to enter trunked frequencies.
1. In manual mode, press PROG to put the scanner in program mode. PROG and BANK A or B will appear in the display. If you
want to switch to another bank group, hold down A/B(HOLD) for about 2 seconds.
2. Enter the channel number where you want to store a frequency. If you make a mistake press the .(MON/CLR) button to clear the
display.
3. Press PROG to advance to the channel. The channel number and PROG will appear in the display.
4. Use the number keys and decimal point key to enter the frequency you want to store. If you make a mistake press the .(MON/CLR)
button to clear the display. To delete a frequency, program 0 as the frequency.
5. Press E (SVC) to store the frequency into the channel.
Note: If you entered an invalid frequency (not in the receiver's range), Error appears and the scanner beeps three times.
Press .(MON/CLR) button to clear the error message.
Note: The scanner automatically rounds the entered number to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter
151.473 (MHz), your scanner accepts it as 151.475.
Note: You may press DELAY if you want to at this time to set the scanner to pause the channel 2 seconds before
scanning resumes after the transmission ends. Each channel can have its own delay setting. See Scan/Search Delay.
6. To program the next channel in sequence, press PROG, which advances to the next channel. To program any other channel,
enter the channel number then press PROG to advance to the channel.
Press MANUAL to exit programming.
Valid Trunking Frequencies
Motorola Type II systems:
851.0000­868.9875 MHz (except cellular)
935.0125­939.9875 MHz
The radio also includes a trunking 'Frequency and Talk Group Guide' to help you get started programming your scanner. However,
some of this information may be outdated or changed by now so you should re­check the information before using it. See Radio
Reference.com for more information on obtaining current frequency and talk group ID information.
You can program trunking frequencies and conventional frequencies into the same bank to utilize channel space better if you have
a lot of channels and/or trunking systems. That way, you don't have to waste a whole bank on a trunking system that has only 5
channels. I typically put my trunking frequencies in starting at the beginning of the banks (1,51,101, 151,etc.) because you'll rarely
have more than 25 of those (for each trunking system) and then fill up the banks with conventional frequencies. This will help you to
utilize your banks better for programming.
If you lock out the trunking frequencies, you won't have to listen to the annoying control channels when you scan the banks. The
scanner will still trunk the locked out frequencies when you trunk the banks.
You should also turn off the Status Bit Ignore Function to properly receive Type II IDs. See Setting the Status Bit Ignore Function.
1. In manual mode, press PROG then TRUNK to put the scanner in program and trunk modes. PROG, TRUNK, and BANK A or B
will appear in the display. If you want to switch to another bank group, hold down A/B(HOLD) for about 2 seconds.
2. Press the number key 0­9 (0 for bank 10) to select the bank to program.
3. Press or until you find one of the following 4 Motorola II systems you want to program:
Display
E2 ­ 800
E2 ­ 900
E2 ­ UHF
E2 ­ Hi
4. Press E(SVC) to select the system. The scanner automatically selects the first channel in the selected bank.
5. Use the number keys and decimal point key to enter the frequency you want to store. If you make a mistake press the .(MON/CLR)
button to clear the display. To delete a frequency, program 0 as the frequency.
6. Press E (SVC) to store the frequency into the channel.
Note: If you entered an invalid frequency (not a valid trunking frequency), Error appears and the scanner beeps three
times. Press the .(MON/CLR) button to clear the error message.
Note: If you enter a duplicate frequency, the scanner will beep twice and show you the channel number of the first
frequency. Press .(MON/CLR) to clear the display.
7. Press PROG to advance to the next channel and repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until you have entered all the trunking frequencies.
