Programming Trunking Frequencies
The first step in tracking a trunked system is storing the frequencies in one of the 10
available banks in your scanner. Remember that you can only store one trunking system in
each bank.
Important: If you are programming an EDACS or LTR trunked system, you must enter the
frequencies in a specific order. Check the frequency guide included with the
scanner for the frequencies in your area. For additional frequencies, check the
web sites listed on page 5.
