Trunking Operation
SETTING SQUELCH FOR THE
TRUNKING MODE
Your scanner automatically mutes the audio during trunk
scanning when it decodes control channel data. Howev-
er, we recommend you turn
SQUELCH
clockwise and
leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops.
This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel.
PROGRAMMING TRUNKING
FREQUENCIES
You program trunking frequencies the same as non-
trunked frequencies, except that you must store the ap-
propriate mode (MOT or ED) with each frequency.
Notes:
You can scan only one type of trunked frequency,
either EDACS or Motorola in a bank at one time.
You can, however, mix conventional channels and
frequencies in a bank.
• If you are programming trunked frequencies for
Motorola Type I and hybrid systems, you must first
program the fleet map (see "“Programming Fleet
Maps” on Page 56).
If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS
system you must store them in the Logical Channel
Number order (usually listed as LCN#). For exam-
ple, LCN1 would go into channel 01 for the current
bank, and LCN2 would go into channel 02.
Follow these steps to program trunked frequencies:
