Startup Configuration

Multi-Site Trunking

Setup/Operation

The Startup Configuration option lets you quickly and automatically lock and unlock

systems based on your desired configuration. Simply hold down a number button

while powering on the scanner or while the opening screens are displayed. Systems

assigned to that number are automatically unlocked and systems assigned to other

numbers are automatically locked. Systems that are not assigned to any startup

configuration are left unchanged.

You could use this feature to give you quick, single-press Quick Key access to your

favorite systems even when you travel to other locations. For example, if you

program your scanner as follows:

When you are in the Fort Worth area, press

while turning on the scanner. System

Quick Keys

,

, and

then allow you to select between the local systems.

When you travel to the Phoenix area, hold

while turning on the scanner. Now, the

Fort Worth systems are locked out and System Quick Keys

,

, and

allow

selection between the Phoenix-area systems.

Some systems covering a very large geographic area use multiple antenna sites that

each operate on different frequencies, but that use the same Talk Group ID’s for

traffic. When programming such a system, you program each site’s frequencies and

other settings into the system, then program the channels into channel groups within

that system. Each site can have its own quick key, so you can turn each individual

site on or off while you scan. Since all sites share all the channels within the system,

multi-site trunking is much more efficient than programming each site as a separate

system.
