Tracking

TrunkTracker II now allows tracking of EDACS trunked

systems. Until now these widely used systems have been

almost impossible to monitor with a conventional scanner.

With your TrunkTracker II listening to EDACS is

remarkably easy, and perhaps even easier than

conventional scanning.

EDACS

®

systems use “Transmission Trunking”, which

means that each transmission is assigned a new

frequency. As the conversation moves through the

system’s frequencies, your TrunkTracker II automatically

follows it.

This graph depicts a 30 second sample of transmission in

an EDACS trunked system, showing the frequency

transitions that a particular radio conversation might use.

Note: Many 900 MHz EDACS

®

trunking systems (such

as those used by some utilities) utilize a control

channel that cannot be tracked with

the UBC 245XLT.
