Then, select the system type:
MOT TYPE 1 — Motorola Type I systems
MOT TYPE 2/P25 — Motorola Type II and APCO 25 systems
EDCS WIDE/NARROW — EDACS Wide and Narrow systems
EDCS SCAT — EDACS SCAT systems
LT — LTR Systems
The scanner creates an empty system with a default name of System n x. Note
that “n” is a number that increments as you add new systems. The “x” on the right
side of the display is M for Motorola system, E for EDACS systems, and L for LTR
systems. After creating the system:
1. Set the system-level settings in “Programming System Settings” that apply to
the type of system you selected.
2. Set up at least one site for the system as described in “Programming Sites” on
“Programming Sites” on Page 76.
3. To scan specific channels, create one or more channel groups with channels
as described in “Programming Channel Groups.”
Programming System Settings
Throughout the following sections, you will notice a heading on the right, such as
MECL in the next section. This helps designate the system types to which the
section applies. In this section, the instructions apply to M (Motorola), E (EDACS
Wide/Narrow), C (Conventional), and L (LTR).
Each system name can be up to 16 characters. Abbreviate as necessary to fit. For
Motorola and EDACS Wide/Narrow systems, the system name only appears in the
scanner menu’s Program System listings. It is not shown during scanning. For
other systems, the system name alternates with the Channel group when the
scanner stops on a channel.
The default system names include the following letter in the 16th position to
indicate the system type: M = Motorola; E = EDACS; L = LTR; C = Conventional;
