setting squelch for trunking mode
Your scanner automatically mutes the audio during trunk
scanning when it decodes control channel data. However,
we recommend you turn
SQ
clockwise and leave it set to a
point just after the rushing sound stops. This lets the scanner
quickly acquire the data channel.
programming trunking frequencies
You program trunking frequencies the same as non-trunked
frequencies, except that you must store the appropriate
mode (MO, ED, or LT) with each frequency.
You can scan only one type of trunked frequency, either
EDACS, Motorola, or LTR in a bank at one time. You can,
however, mix conventional channels and frequencies in a
bank.
If you are programming trunked frequencies for Motorola
Type I and hybrid systems, you must fi rst program the
fl eet map (see “Programming Fleet Maps”).
If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS system
you must store them in the Logical Channel Number
order (usually listed as LCN#). For example, LCN1 would
go into channel 01 for the current bank, and LCN2 would
go into channel 02.
If you are programming frequencies for an LTR system
you must store them in the home repeater order. For
example, home repeater order 1 would go into channel
01 for the current bank, and home repeater order 2 would
go into channel 02.
Follow these steps to program trunked frequencies:
1. Press

and select the bank.
