Saving Trunking Channels

Trunking channels are deﬁned using the
same procedure for non-trunking channels.
In each bank, you can mix channel modes,
including conventional, but you can scan only
one trunking mode at a time, either EDACS,
Motorola, or LTR.

Because Motorola control frequencies
change daily, you should save all the control
frequencies in the same bank. If you do not
know the control frequency, save all the
Motorola frequencies in the same bank.

EDACS frequencies are assigned Logical
Channel Numbers (LCN) and organized in
a speciﬁc order. To scan correctly, you must
program the frequencies in LCN order,
starting with Memory 01.

Notes:

•

Trunked modes (MO, ED, and LT) can only
be selected for frequencies above 137
MHz that use trunking operations.
