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) type systems
extensively used in many
communication systems.
Trunking systems allocate a few
frequencies to many different
users. When...

group frequencies.
The control channels are subject
to change depending on the day.
Therefore enter all the control
frequencies in the same bank. If
you do not know which is the
control channel, it is better to enter
all the system frequencies into the
same bank. (Refer to the supplied
Trunking Guide.)
When the scanner decodes the
Motorola control channel and finds
the voice channel, the scanner
displays the control channel
memory location on the top line,...

a trunked system chooses one of
several frequencies when the
2-way radio user transmits. The
system automatically transmits the
call on that frequency, and also
sends a code that identifies that
2-way radio users transmission on
a control channel.
Your scanner lets you easily hear
both the call and response
transmissions for that 2-way radio
user and therefore follow the
conversation. For EDACS and
Motorola (above 406 MHz range),
the scanner monitors the...
