31 Reviewing Locked-Out Frequencies Follow these steps to review the fre- quencies within a search bank that you locked out. 1. Press SEARCH to start searching. 2. Press FUNC then L/OUT. The first locked-out frequency in the selected search bank appears. If the search bank has no locked- out frequency, L/O list is empty. appears. 3. Press FUNC then s to select a search bank and begin the search for locked-out channels within that bank. 4. Repeatedly press s . The scanner displays all locked-out...

32 Notes: • The scanner does not stay on the priority channel while the scanner is receiving trunking frequencies. • If you program a weather channel as the priority channel, the scan- ner stays on that channel only when it detects the weather alert tone. • The scanner cannot set a channel as the priority channel if the chan- nel’s receive mode is LTR, MOT, or ED. Follow these steps to program a chan- nel as the priority channel. 1. Press MAN. 2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number you...

33 ner receives transmissions only when a preset ID code is also transmitted, and the ID code appears. In closed mode, the scanner does not receive transmissions if they do not have an ID code or if the ID code does not match the preset ID code. Note: You can set AM and FM fre- quencies within banks to open or closed mode. Follow these steps to select a bank and change it to open or closed mode. 1. Press MAN. 2. Press FUNC then repeatedly press s or t to select the bank you want to change. 3. Press...

34 To change the frequency step while moving between frequencies within a search band, repeatedly press STEP. Or, follow these steps to change the frequency step within a specific bank. 1. Press SEARCH. 2. Select a bank. 3. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclock- wise until the indicator points to MIN. 4. Repeatedly press STEP until you reach the desired step. 5. Turn SQUELCH clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops. USING THE ATTENUATOR To reduce interference or noise...

Press ENTER to store the setting. CLONING PROGRAMMED DATA FROM SCANNER TO SCANNER You can transfer the programmed data to and from another RadioShack Cat. No. 20-196 or Cat. No. 20-522 scanner using the supplied clone ca- ble. To clone the data, follow these steps. 1. Turn on both scanners. 2. Connect the supplied...

36 TRUNKING OPERATION The scanner tracks transmissions that use the Motorola® Type I and Type II (such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus) and hybrid analog trunking systems, plus GE/Ericsson (EDACS) and EF Johnson (LTR) type systems, which are extensively used in many commu- nication systems. Trunking systems allocate a few fre- quencies to many different users. When the mobile unit transmits a sig- nal, one frequency is chosen from among the allocated frequencies in that trunking system. The user’s ID talk...

37 SETTING SQUELCH FOR THE TRUNKING MODE Your scanner automatically mutes the audio during trunk scanning when it decodes control channel data. Howev- er, we recommend you turn SQUELCH clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel. PROGRAMMING TRUNKING FREQUENCIES You program trunking frequencies just like non-trunked frequencies, except that you must store the appropriate mode (MO, ED, or LT) with each fre- quency....

Repeatedly press MODE to select the trunking mode ( LT for EF Johnson, MO for Motorola, or ED for the EDACS (GE/Ericsson) sys- tem). 6. Press SCAN. If the scanner’s receive mode matches the ID mode, T appears and the scanner scans the frequencies. Programming Motorola Trunking Systems (UHF-Lo) You can program the scanner to re- ceive transmissions in the UHF-Lo band (380–512 MHz) of the Motorola Trunking System. You can...

Note: Offset frequencies above 50 kHz do not appear and are used only for subaudible decoding mode. 6. Program the trunking frequencies (see “Programming Trunking Frequencies” on Page 37). PROGRAMMING FLEET MAPS If you want to receive a Motorola Type I system, you need to set the fleet map. Fleet maps are included along with other information about Motorola Type I sys- tems at...

However, after you set Type I and if you want to return to Type II, enter 15 at Step 6. 8. To confirm the input, repeat Steps 1–6 and press ENTER. Each time you press ENTER, you confirm the size code. If you find an error, press CLEAR and begin again at Step 1. 9. Press SCAN to start scanning. 3 S11 S4 S4 S4 — S4 S4 S2 4 S11 S4 S4 S4 S4...
