Programming a Hybrid System
A Hybrid system is simply a Type I system with some blocks designated as Type II blocks.
To program a Hybrid system, follow the steps listed in "Programming a Fleet Map" in the
previous section. However, if you want a block to be Type II, select Size Code S-0.
When you begin searching a trunking bank with a Hybrid Fleet Map, you will see both types

IDs appear as a three or four digit number, followed by a hyphen, followed by a one or two
digit number.
