40 Trunking Operation
To scan both trunking and conventional banks, select
the banks you wish to be active with trunking off, then
press
TRUNK . The scanner begins scanning. To return
to conventional scanning, press TRUNK again.
SETTING SQUELCH FOR THE
TRUNKING MODE
Your scanner’s squelch setting is automatically adjusted
during trunking, which means it is not necessary to man-
ually adjust squelch while scanning trunked transmis-
sions. However, the squelch setting can affect how fast
your scanner acquires the data channel, and, in some in-
stances, can prevent your scanner from acquiring the
data channel at all.
We recommend you set SQUELCH fully clockwise before
selecting a trunked bank.
Note: Change this setting as needed for the best perfor-
mance in your area.
STORING TRUNKED FREQUENCIES
Follow these steps to select, program, and store trunked
frequencies.
1. Press PROG then TRUNK . TRUNK appears and one
or more bank numbers flash.
2. Press the number key (1–10) of the desired target
storage bank. Select one of the trunk systems by
repeatedly pressing

or
9 9 9 9
to select a trunking
system type, then press E (SVC) . The scanner then
automatically selects the first channel in the
