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 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.
