Beyond the Basics
Q:
Error appears on the display. What does it mean?
A: If you were trying to enter a frequency, you might have made a
programming error. Re-enter the frequency correctly, including
the decimal point.
Q:
My scanner does not track EDACS systems properly. What’s
wrong?
A: The logical channel numbers (frequencies) for the system
might not be programmed in the correct order, or all the
frequencies might not be programmed. Check the frequencies
and reprogram them.
Q:
I do not hear all the replies to conversations. What’s wrong?
A: Change to a Type 1 scanner setup. See “Fleet Map
Programming” for more information. Try another preset fl eet
map or program your own fl eet map. Check to see that all the
system’s frequencies have been entered.
Q:
The scanner does not acquire the data channel. What’s
wrong?
A: Adjust the squelch for trunking mode. See “Setting the
Squelch”. Also, the frequency used for the data channel might
not have been programmed into the scanner.
