Programming and Receiving
Digital and Trunked Systems
There are three steps for programming a trunked sytem:
1. Program the Trunk Type – What type of system will the scanner be tracking, Motorola
Type II, Type I, EDACS, LTR, etc.
2. Program the Trunked Frequencies – Within a trunked system, the frequencies are
shared among all the users, called “Talk Groups”.
• Within the bank you decide which channels to program the trunked frequencies.
3. Program the Talk Groups – Within the trunked system, each agency or department is
assigned a Talk Group ID. This ID must be programmed into the scanner in order for it to
monitor that specific agency or department.
• When programming you decide which “Location” to program the “Talk Groups”. This is
similar to how you program frequencies into channels. Here you need to program Talk
Group ID’s into Locations.
STEP 1: Selecting or Changing Trunking System Type
Before using the Trunk Tracking system, you must select the bank and trunk type. You can
only track one trunked system per bank, total of 10 trunked systems.
1 Press MENU.

programming mode by pressing TRUNK.
2. Select 2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK by rotating the
VFO and pressing E.
3 Select the bank number using the
keypad or the VFO and pressing E.
4. Select 1:TRUNK TYPE / 1:ON and the system type you
want to track by rotating the VFO and pressing E.
For Type 1 System, you must enter the block and fleet numbers.
Please refer to “Programming a Fleet Map” on page 64 for instructions.
☞ Remember! You can also use ▲ or ▼ instead of rotating the VFO.
