An icon will show an “E” in the display when you have
programmed an EDACS
system.
Note: The BC 245XLT defaults to “AFS” talk group
displays for EDACS only. AFS describes most
systems in the following manner:
Using the sample talk group 01-011:
01 is the Agency Level (such as police)
01-01 describes the Agency and fleet level (such
as police patrol)
01-011 describes the Agency, fleet and subfleet
level (such as police patrol east side) of a
particular talk group
EDACS systems are organized in a logical way that keeps
related talk groups together. Your scanner is designed to
use this organization to make your scanning easy. It has
two new features, AFS and XPAND, to let you zero in on
just the part of the system you want to hear, whether it is
an individual channel or an entire department or city.
AFS Display
AFS (Agency-Fleet-Subfleet) is the numbering system
used in the TrunkTracker II to display and enter EDACS
talk groups. Systems differ, but AFS will help you
recognize and program them all. And AFS works together
with XPAND to provide a new kind of scanning flexibility.
XPAND
XPAND lets you expand or narrow searching and scanning
to one of 4 levels. By entering only the desired part of a
talk group, you can select 2048 talk groups, 128 talk
groups, 8 talk groups, or a single talk group. For example,
you might program every talk group in a police department
with just 4 key presses.
