system if this were the case). If you press the e key while
monitoring one ID, the radio will check if any other IDs are
active (it will disregard the ID you just left), and if none are
active, it will move on.
EDACS tracking
Your scanner is now able to track EDACS trunked systems.
Until now, these widely used systems have been almost
impossible to monitor with a conventional scanner. With your
scanner, listening to EDACS is remarkably easy, and perhaps
even easier than conventional scanning.
EDACS systems use “Transmission Trunking”, which means
that each transmission is assigned a new frequency.
As the conversation moves through the system’s
frequencies, your scanner automatically follows it. Your
scanner can clearly and automatically follow this talk group,
or any other, as you select. EDACS systems are organized
in a logical way that keeps related talk groups together. Your
scanner is designed to take maximum advantage of this
organization to make your scanning easy. It lets you zero in
on just the part of the system you want to hear, whether it is
an individual channel, an entire department or city.
programming EDACS system frequencies
When you program EDACS frequencies, it is critical that
you store each one in the correct location. By the nature of
EDACS systems this is necessary for tracking. This often is
not the frequency order, so you must be sure you have the
right sequence. Sources for this information can be found at
