Programming Trunking Frequencies
There are three steps for programming a trunked system:
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”.
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.
Before you start programming your scanner to track a trunked system, consider the
following:
•
You can only program one trunking system in each bank of your scanner.
•
Trunked frequencies must be entered while in the Trunk Programming mode.
•
If you’re in the Trunk Programming mode, you cannot select channels in other banks.
For example, if you are programming Bank 4, you can only select channels 151-200
with the
or
key.
•
If you are programming an EDACS ®
trunked system, you must
enter the frequencies in a specific order. Check the frequency guide included with the
radio and the listed web sites for details.
The first step in a Trunk Tracking system is storing the frequencies in one of the five
available banks in your scanner.
1. Press
for 1.5 seconds.
You will hear two beeps, and
and
will begin to flash on the display.
2. Select the bank you want to store the frequency by using the
keypad.
3. Select the system you want to track by using the
or
key,
then press .
