Trunking Operation
Note: If you select size code S-12, S-13, or S-14, these
restrictions apply:
• S-12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4, or 6
• S-13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4
• S-14 can only be assigned to Block 0
Since these size codes require multiple blocks, you will
be prompted for the next available block when you pro-
gram a fleet map. For example, if you assign Block 0 as
S-12, the scanner prompts you for
b2
, the next block
available, instead of b1. If you assign Block 0 as S-14,
you would not see another prompt because S-14 uses
all available blocks.
