Programming EDACS

Systems

Follow the instructions in this section to program information
for EDACS Wide, EDACS Narrow, and EDACS SCAT
trunking systems. Note that to program these systems, in
addition to knowing the system type and frequencies used,
you must know the logical channel numbers (LCN) for the
system’s frequencies. This information is usually provided with
the frequency and other information. For more information
refer to “Understanding Scanning.”

Programming EDACS Channels

7:EDCS NARROW
