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.
