ProgrammingtheOffsetandBaseFrequency
Contents
ToproperlytrackMotorolaVHF(137.0000174.0000MHz)andUHF(406.0000512.0000MHz)trunkedsystems,youmustprogram
theapplicableoffsetandbasefrequencyforeachsystem.Thiscanbedoneafteryouprogramthetrunkingfrequenciesandsystem.

IhavefoundanexplanationattheTrunkedRadioSystemsUser’sPagethatdescribeshowtofindtheseifyoudon'thavethe
information.Lookfor'DeterminingBaseandOffsetFrequenciesfortheBC245xlt'byJohnC.ThereisanotherexplanationatRadio
Reference.com.

1.Inmanualmode,pressPROGthenTRUNKtoputthescannerinprogramandtrunkmodes.PROG,TRUNK,andBANKAorB
willappearinthedisplay.Ifyouwanttoswitchtoanotherbankgroup,holddownA/B(HOLD)forabout2seconds.
2.Pressthenumberkey09(0forbank10)ofthebankwhereyouwanttostorethebasefrequency.
3.Press or toselectE2VHi(forVHF)orE2UHF(forUHF),thenpressE(SVC).Thescannerautomaticallyselectsthefirst
channelintheselectedbank.
4.PressALT(DATA).ThepresetbasefrequencyandbASappearinthedisplay.
5.EnteranewbasefrequencythenpressE(SVC)tostoreit.
6.PressALT(DATA)again.ThepresetoffsetandOFSappearinthedisplay.
Usethefollowingguide:
 ForMotorolaTypeIIVHF,(E2VHFHiband)use5kHzstepsbetween5kHz100kHz.Ex:5,10,15,25.
 ForMotorolaTypeIIUHF,(E2UHFband)use12.5kHzstepsbetween12.5kHz100kHz.Ex:12.5,25.
7.EnterthenewoffsetthenpressE(SVC)tostoreit.

ValidTrunkingFrequencies
EricssonEDACSsystems:
806.0000899.9875MHz(exceptcellular) 137.0000174.0000MHz

Youcanprogramtrunkingfrequenciesandconventionalfrequenciesintothesamebanktoutilizechannelspacebetterifyouhave
alotofchannelsand/ortrunkingsystems.Thatway,youdon’thavetowasteawholebankonatrunkingsystemthathasonly5
channels.Itypicallyputmytrunkingfrequenciesinstartingatthebeginningofthebanks(1,51,101,151,etc.)becauseyou’llrarely
havemorethan25ofthose(foreachtrunkingsystem)andthenfillupthebankswithconventionalfrequencies.Thiswillhelpyouto
utilizeyourbanksbetterforprogramming.
Ifyoulockoutthetrunkingfrequencies,youwon'thavetolistentotheannoyingcontrolchannelswhenyouscanthebanks.The
scannerwillstilltrunkthelockedoutfrequencieswhenyoutrunkthebanks.

1.Inmanualmode,pressPROGthenTRUNKtoputthescannerinprogramandtrunkmodes.PROG,TRUNK,andBANKAorB
willappearinthedisplay.Ifyouwanttoswitchtoanotherbankgroup,holddownA/B(HOLD)forabout2seconds.
2.Pressthenumberkey09(0forbank10)toselectthebanktoprogram.
3.Press or untilEdappearsinthedisplay.PressE(SVC).Thescannerautomaticallyselectsthefirstchannelintheselected
bank.
4.Usethenumberkeysanddecimalpointkeytoenterthefrequencyyouwanttostore.Ifyoumakeamistakepressthe.(MON/CLR)
buttontwicetoclearthedisplay.Todeleteafrequency,program0asthefrequency.
 Note:EDACSfrequencieshavetobeprogrammedinLCN(LogicalChannelNumber)order.SeeFindingLCNOrder.
5.PressE(SVC)tostorethefrequencyintothechannel.

Note:Thescannerautomaticallyroundstheenterednumbertothenearestvalidfrequency.Forexample,ifyouenter
855.122(MHz),yourscanneracceptsitas855.125.

Note:Ifyouenteredaninvalidfrequency(notavalidtrunkingfrequency),Errorappearsandthescannerbeepsthree
times.Youonlyhavetopressthe.(MON/CLR)buttononcetocleartheErrormessage.

Note:Ifyouenteraduplicatefrequency,thescannerwillbeeptwiceandshowyouthechannelnumberofthefirst
frequency.Press.(MON/CLR)toclearthedisplay.
6.PressPROGtoadvancetothenextchannelandrepeatsteps4,5,and6untilyouhaveenteredallthetrunkedchannels.
