the 700MHz and first part of 800MHz ranges here are different than the original owner's manual.

Finding EDACS LCN order
- EDACS frequencies
have
to be programmed in LCN (Logical Channel Number) order.
I have found a procedure at the
Trunked Radio Systems User’s Page
which explains how to find the LCN order for an EDACS system if you don't know the order. Look for 'Finding
EDACS Logical Channel Numbers
'
by Todd Hartzel
near the bottom of the page.

How to view these pages in your browsers
I have formatted these pages so that you can view them with any monitor, in any browser (Foxfire, Opera, I.E., or Netscape), at any zoom level, and in any
screen area size (ex: 600x800)-small or large fonts. So if the print is too small, go to the 'view' menu in your browser and adjust it to a bigger level (or
smaller if you want to see more on the screen).
Finding and reading the date code
The date code or date of manufacture for RS models is located inside the battery compartment of the 106/651 or on the bottom of the 197/652 (Don't rely
on the date code on the box). You will see two numbers then a "A" then two more numbers. The first two numbers are the month and the last two are the
year. Ex: 01A05 is January of 2005.
