The scanner also includes a trunking ‘Frequency and Talk Group Guide’ to help you get started programming your scanner.
However, some of this information may be outdated or changed by now so you should recheck the information before using it. See
Radio Reference.com
for more information on obtaining current frequency and talk group ID information.
For a Type I or Type IIi system, you have to select a
PreProgrammed Fleet Map
or program a fleetmap if the one you need isn't pre
programmed. If you know the preset fleet map or have the size codes, that's great. If you don't, you need to determined the size
codes so you can select (or program) the fleet map.
If you don't know the size codes, you can try a method I found at
Radio Reference.com
. Since it is rather lengthy, I will just give you
the link.
Determining Type I Motorola Fleet Maps
. By Dave Goodson.
You can program trunking frequencies and conventional frequencies into the same bank to utilize channel space better if you have
a lot of channels and/or trunking systems. That way, you don’t have to waste a whole bank on a trunking system that has only 5
channels. I typically put my trunking frequencies in starting at the beginning of the banks (1,51,101, 151,etc.) because you’ll rarely
have more than 25 of those (for each trunking system) and then fill up the banks with conventional frequencies. This will help you to
utilize your banks better for programming.
If you lock out the trunking frequencies, you won't have to listen to the annoying control channels when you scan the banks. The
scanner will still trunk the locked out frequencies when you trunk the banks.
You should also turn off the Status Bit Ignore Function to properly receive Type IIi IDs. See
Setting the Status Bit Ignore Function
.
1. In manual mode, press PROG then TRUNK
to put the scanner in program and trunk modes. PROG, TRUNK, and BANK A or B
will appear in the display. If you want to switch to another bank group, hold down A/B(HOLD) for about 2 seconds.
2. Press the number key 09 (0 for bank 10)
to select the bank to program.
3. Press or to select E1, then press E(SVC).
The scanner automatically selects the first channel in the selected bank.
4. Use the number keys and decimal point key to enter the frequency
you want to store. If you make a mistake press the .(MON/CLR)
button to clear the display. To delete a frequency, program 0 as the frequency.
5. Press E (SVC) to
store the frequency
into the channel.
Note: If you entered an invalid frequency (not a valid trunking frequency), Error appears and the scanner beeps three
times. Press the .(MON/CLR) button to clear the Error message.
Note: If you enter a duplicate frequency, the scanner will beep twice and show you the channel number of the first
frequency. Press .(MON/CLR) to clear the display.
6. Press PROG
to advance to the next channel and repeat steps 46 until you have entered all the trunked channels.
7. Press ALT(DATA)
.
A preprogrammed fleet map (example E1P7) or Usr appears in the display .
8. If you are going to use a preset fleet map, press or
to select the desired preset fleet map. You are done. Press MAN to exit
programming.
If you need to program a fleetmap
that doesn't have the size codes in any of the preset fleet maps,
press or to until Usr
appears.
9. Press ALT(DATA)
to display the size code list. You will see b0 (block 0) in the left of the display.
10. Press or to select the size code for the first block, then press E(SVC).
The next available block appears.
Note: If you select size code S12, S13, or S14, these restrictions apply:
S12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4 or 6.
S13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4.
S14 can only be assigned to Block 0.
Since these size codes require multiple blocks, you will be prompted for the next available block. For example, if you
assign Block 0 as S12, the scanner prompts you for block 2, the next block available, instead of block 1. If you assign
Block 0 as S14, you would not see another prompt because S14 uses all available blocks.
11. Repeat Step 10 until you have selected a size code for each desired block.
You will see b0 return in the display when you are
done.
