9. Use the keypad to enter a new Offset Channel, then press E.

•You can only input within a range of 380-759.
• If the system is not tracking properly, you may need to

try a new Base Frequency or Offset Channel, or you

may be missing frequencies from the system.
• You can set up to three Base, Spacing and Offsets for Motorola VHF/UHF trunked

systems.

On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which specialized types of communications

utilize unique talkgroup numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique talkgroup from its

primary assignment, for example. Because the UBCT8 defaults to Status-Bit ON mode, you

never need to worry about missing these transmissions. If you have programmed talkgroup

33264 into Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency call within the group,

you will hear it on 33264.
The only time you may wish to turn Status Bits OFF is if you're trying to figure out the proper

Fleet Map of a Type I trunking system.
