Data Skip A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during searches.
Press to activate the data skip feature. Press again to cancel the data skip feature. The indicator disappears from the display. When data skip is active, your scanner may pause momentarily on an unwanted signal but will resume searching in 2 or 3 seconds. VP Tue Jun 15 Page 34 Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Frequency Skip If a particular frequency continues to interrupt search scanning, it is possible to set your scanner to skip the frequency.
To skip a frequency, press. Note: You can program up to 50 skip frequencies. The 51st skip frequency entered causes the first skipped frequency to unlock. To cancel all skipped frequencies, press for 2 seconds.
Storing Search Frequencies You can quickly store any frequency you find during Search. Caution: You must select the channel in which you will store the frequency before entering the search mode.
Otherwise, you may erase a stored frequency that you want to keep. Press 7. Press when the scanner stops at the frequency you want to store. Press to store the frequency in the channel you selected. To store another frequency, select another channel for the new frequency by pressing or or. Repeat steps 6 through 8 for all the Search frequencies you want to store. The frequencies selected for these bands are the most commonly used around the U. After a two second delay, scanning begins.
Press to start scanning immediately or to continue scanning if you want to skip a frequency. Press to scan the FIRE bank. Press to scan the RR bank. When an active channel is displayed, the scanner will alternate between the frequency and the Railroad channel number. Press to scan the AIR bank. Press to scan the MRN bank.
Press to scan the WX band. If the broadcast sounds weak or distant, press again to look for a closer station. To exit SVC Scan mode, press. During search of one of the preprogrammed service bands, press to stop the scan on a frequency. HOLD appears in the display. Press or to move up or down one programmed frequency, or press to resume scanning. Note: If you want to remain on a channel until a responding transmission is received, press activate the two second delay feature.
Press to stop the Service Scan. Press 3. Press to resume scanning. The 21st locked out frequency entered causes the first locked out frequency to unlock. To cancel the lockout press again. To restore all lockout frequencies, press and hold for about two seconds. You will hear two beeps when all frequencies have been restored. Select a channel you want to program. Press repeatedly to select Service Scan mode you want. Press to begin scanning. When SVC Scan stops on a frequency you want, press.
When tracking these types of systems, you may want to remember these important points: n Your scanner defaults to monitor Motorola Type II systems; however, you can change this if the system in your area is different.
The types of systems are discussed below. Types of Trunking Systems Trunking systems divide a few frequencies among many different users, but the way that each system does this is slightly different. Type I only occurs on some MHz systems. One important distinction between these two systems is the amount of data transmitted by each radio when its push-to-talk button PTT is pressed. Both Type I and Type II systems place radios or radio users into groups, called talk groups, and these talk groups are also assigned unique IDs.
Why the difference? Changes to a Type II system are easier than Type I because the system manager only need update the database instead of reprogramming individual radios. Another difference between the systems is that Type I systems are arranged in a Fleet-Subfleet hierarchy. All the available police radios would then be assigned to one of the police subfleets. Determining the exact Fleet-Subfleet hierarchy for a particular area is referred to as Fleet Map Programming, which is discussed further in this manual.
This is three times the amount of data a Type II system radio sends, and as a result Type I systems usually accommodate fewer users than Type II systems.
See page 60 for details. Until now these widely used systems have been almost impossible to monitor with a conventional scanner. 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.
However, the squelch setting you select before you begin trunk tracking can affect how fast your scanner acquires the data channel, and, in some instances, the squelch setting can prevent your scanner from acquiring the data channel at all. Note: You can change this recommended setting, if necessary, to provide better performance in your area.
Programming Trunking Frequencies Before you start programming your scanner to track a trunked system, consider the following: n You can only program one trunking system in each bank of your scanner. For example, if you are programming Bank 4, you can only select channels with the or keys. Check the frequency guide included with the radio and the listed web sites for details.
VP Tue Jun 15 Page 44 Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen The first step in tracking a trunked system is storing the frequencies in one of the 10 available banks in your scanner. Press second. Select the Bank you want to store the frequency, by pressing 1 through 0. Choose the system you want to track. Use or to choose the system, and press. See appropriate section. See section on Programming a Fleet Map.
Use the keypad to enter a frequency for the trunked system. Note: To clear a mistake while entering a frequency, press twice, and start over.
If the frequency is out of the range of the system chosen in this step, an error message displays. Press and go back to Step 3. Press either or to select the next channel in the bank. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all frequencies have been entered. See ahead for details. Once the data channel is acquired, the scanner begins trunk tracking. However, it usually only takes a few minutes to figure out police, fire, and emergency medical personnel.
When a talk group is active, press to stop the search mode. Use the keypad to enter the ID you want. Channel number flashes in the display. HOLD flashes in the display. Press to return to Search mode. This is particularly important in trunked systems because in many areas, water meters, door alarms, traffic signals, and other mechanical devices are assigned IDs just like other users. Also some departments scramble or encrypt their communications, and you may want to lock out these unintelligible broadcasts.
To lockout an ID, press when the ID displays. The ID is locked out, and the next active ID displays. You can lockout up to IDs. For information about Scan Lists see page Press and hold until you hear two short beeps. Use or to select the ID you want to unlock. The ID is unlocked and the next locked ID displays. Press to return to the Search mode. Press to unlock all the IDs at once.
This mode holds an ID for 5 seconds while you wait for a reply. Other groups may use the system, but your scanner will only look for the ID in the display. You can hold a specific talk group, such as fire department on-scene operations, no matter which frequency the group uses. These calls are not monitored by your scanner. Note: If more than 20 channels are stored in a bank, then the indicators represent multiple channels. For example, if 28 channels are programmed, the first 8 activity indicators each represent two channels.
To restore to the previous setting, press. When you designate a bank as a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply lists used to store your favorite IDs.
Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of IDs for each trunk tracking bank. Scan Lists help you organize the trunking system users into categories. Once IDs are stored in lists, you can scan them like you scan conventional frequencies. You can program your scan lists either manually or during trunking search mode.
Check the web site www. Select the Trunking bank you want. After tracking is started, press. Use and to select the Scan List location you want to program. For example, select the second memory location in the first scan list. Enter the fleet number. Enter the subfleet number, and press.
Enter ID you want to store. Note: To clear a mistake while entering an ID, press twice, and start over. Press or to select the next Scan List location. AFS describes most systems in the following manner: Using the sample talk group 01 is the Agency Level such as police describes the Agency and fleet level such as police patrol describes the Agency, fleet and subfleet level such as police patrol east side of a particular talk group EDACS systems are organized in a logical way that keeps related talk groups together.
Your scanner is designed to use this organization to make your scanning easy. It has two new features, AFS and XPAND, to let you zero in on just the part of the system you want to hear, whether it is an individual channel or an entire department or city. Systems differ, but AFS will help you recognize and program them all.
By entering only the desired part of a talk group, you can select talk groups, talk groups, 8 talk groups, or a single talk group. For example, you might program every talk group in a police department with just 4 key presses. Just press and hold to switch the scanner between AFS and decimal mode. This is a very powerful feature! For further details and examples, please see the Appendix. Press to begin scanning the lists you have programmed.
The Scan List indicator turns off, and the IDs in that list are not scanned. Note: One Scan List must always be active. If you try and deactivate all the Scan Lists, Scan List 1 will automatically be active. To restore a Scan List to active scanning, press its number again. Press to return to Trunk Tracking Search mode. To alternate your display between the trunking repeater indicators and the Scan List indicators, press.
Setting Priority in Trunking Mode You can set priority in your trunking banks, just as you do in your conventional ones. Since each trunking bank holds 10 Scan Lists of 10 memory channels each, channel 1, 11, 21, through 91 are all default priorities.
You can adjust which talk group in each List is the priority by pressing and holding. Priorities are checked in between transmissions. This version does not edit talk group ID's or Fleet Maps.
Talk Group ID's can still be entered manually or your can let the scanner search on it's own to find them using the ID search feature to find all active Talk Group ID's.
