STEP 2: Programming Trunking Frequencies

After you finish selecting the bank and trunk type you want to track, store the frequencies in
the channels for your selected bank in your scanner. Remember that you can only store one
trunking system in each bank.

Important: If you are programming an EDACS or LTR trunked system, you must enter the

frequencies in a specific order. Check the frequency guide included with the
scanner for the frequencies in your area. For additional frequencies, check the
web sites listed on page 10.

2. Select 2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK by rotating the

VFO and pressing E.

3. Select the bank number by rotating the VFO and pressing

You can also change the step size in this menu. (See page 93).

trunking range, a beep sounds and ERROR appears
on the display.
