40 Trunking Operation
To scan both trunking and conventional banks, select
the banks you wish to be active with trunking off, then
press
TRUNK
. The scanner begins scanning. To return
to conventional scanning, press
TRUNK
again.
SETTING SQUELCH FOR THE
TRUNKING MODE
Your scanner’s squelch setting is automatically adjusted
during trunking, which means it is not necessary to man-
ually adjust squelch while scanning trunked transmis-
sions. However, the squelch setting can affect how fast
your scanner acquires the data channel, and, in some in-
stances, can prevent your scanner from acquiring the
data channel at all.
We recommend you set
SQUELCH
fully clockwise before
selecting a trunked bank.
Note:
Change this setting as needed for the best perfor-
mance in your area.
