Motorola 800MHz splinter systems
Certain 800 MHz Motorola trunked radio systems operate
using splinter channels that are in between the channels in
the normal 800 MHz band plan. These systems are known as
“splinter systems”. Your scanner features an offset mode to
allow reception of these systems.
If the radio appears to be trunking to the wrong
frequencies when monitoring an 800 MHz system, you
should try to confi gure the system for splinter operation.
Splinter systems exist only in the 800 MHz band, and only
use the 3600 bps control channel type. Setting splinter
confi guration on VHF, UHF, 900 MHz and 800 MHz
APCO-25 systems will have no effect.
