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.
Press MAN to exit programming.
Preset Fleet Maps
Contents
In Motorola II systems (no programming the fleet map required), all the blocks have size code, S0, which has a size limitation of 512 radios. In Type I systems, size codes are used in different
blocks to denote the maximum number of users in that block. Notice that size code S­12 uses 2 blocks. A Motorola Hybrid system (Type IIi) has 'blocks' of the system that are Type I
Fleets/Subfleets and Type II talkgroups. The maps that are Hybrid systems are in bold.

Programming the Offset and Base Frequency
To properly track Motorola UHF­lo (406­512 MHz) trunked systems, you must program the applicable offset and base frequency for each system. This can be done after you program the trunking
frequencies and system. If you don't know the offset and base frequency, I have found an explanation at the
Trunked Radio Systems User’s Page . Look for 'Determining Base and Offset
Frequencies for the BC245xlt' by John C
.
There is a similar explanation at Radio Reference .
1. In Manual mode select any channel in the bank containing the UHF system by entering the bank number and channel number (Ex: 001) then press MAN to advance to the channel.
2. Press PGM then TRUNK to put the scanner in program and trunk modes. You will see the ID list.
3. Press MODE. MOT: none should appear in the display.
4. Press FUNC then 2. You will see the current settings for the base frequency, offset, and step size. While B in Base is blinking, enter the base frequency then press ENT. Press ENT again to
confirm and move down to the Offset setting. Or, if the entry is correct, press ENT to move down.
5. While O in Offset is blinking, enter the offset then press ENT. Press ENT again to confirm and move down to the Step setting. Or, if the entry is correct, press ENT to move down.
6. While S in Step is blinking, press or to select the step then press ENT to confirm and exit. Or, if the entry is correct, press ENT to exit.
Press MAN to exit programming or SCAN to start scanning.
Programming Talk Group IDs
Contents
After you program trunked frequencies into a bank, your scanner has 5 scan lists for each bank where you can store IDs. Each list can contain up to 30 IDs, for a total of 150 IDs for each trunk
scanning bank. Each of the 5 lists can be turned on or off. If you use all the banks as trunking banks, you can store up to 1500 IDs. If you have more than 150 IDs for a system, or want another list
and have an extra bank in your scanner, program the trunked system into 2 banks. You could then have 10 lists (up to 300 IDs) to store and turn on or off for that system.
If you are going to be programming text tags for the IDs, I find it easier to program all the IDs first, then go back and program all the text tags.
