In this tutorial, you will be shown how to store a frequency into your scanner. Before you program your scanner to track a trunked system, consider the following:
Valid trunked system frequencies are as shown below:
Motorola System:
935.0125-939.9875 MHz (in 12.5 kHz steps)
851.0000-868.9875 MHz (in 12.5 kHz steps)
406.0000-512.0000 MHz (in 12.5 kHz steps)
137.0000-174.0000 MHz (in 5 kHz steps)
Ericsson EDACS system:
900.0000-956.0000 MHz (in 12.5 kHz steps)
806.0000-899.9875 MHz (in 12.5 kHz steps, except cellular frequencies)
406.0000-512.0000 MHz (in 12.5 kHz steps)
137.0000-174.0000 MHz (in 5 kHz steps)
You can use any of your scanner's banks as either a trunk scanning bank or conventional scanning bank, but you cannot mix the two.
The scanner only scans one trunked system at a time. Although you can store frequencies for more than one trunked system in one of your scanner's banks, the scanner only scans the frequencies associated with the first data channel it finds.
Before scanning a trunked system's transmissions, you must store the trunked system's frequencies in one of the banks in your scanner by following these steps:
