User Defined Fleet Maps
Type I Programming Information
When a Type I system is designed, the address information for all the IDs is divided into 8 equal
sized blocks, numbered 0–7. When you program your scanner to track a Type I system, you must
select a size code for each of these blocks. When you have assigned a size code to all 8 blocks,
you’ll have defined the Fleet Map for the system you’re tracking. Each size code determines the
number of Fleets, Subfleets, and IDs each block will have. For...

If you don’t already know the size codes used, you’ll have to guess at them. But since you don’t

block, and then press
S. Now listen to the communications. If you decide you are receiving most
