Notes

•

You can also press FUNC, then TRUNK access the ID list from manual mode.

•

When monitoring Motorola trunked radio systems, it is only necessary to program the trunking control channel.

•

For APCO-25 trunking systems using the 9600 BPS control channel, program the system using the steps outlined above for Motorola systems. Your scanner will automatically detect the proper control channel type.

•

Some systems rotate the control channel on a daily basis. For best results, program all known control channel frequencies into the trunking channel storage bank.
