FindingEDACSLCNorder

EDACSfrequencieshavetobeprogrammedinLCN(LogicalChannelNumber)order.IhavefoundaprocedureattheTrunked
RadioSystemsUser’sPagewhichexplainshowtofindtheLCNorderforanEDACSsystemifyoudon'tknowtheorder.Lookfor
'FindingEDACSLogicalChannelNumbers'byToddHartzelnearthebottomofthepage.
Howtotellifyouhavea94,94A,or94Bmodel
Onthebackofthescanneristhemodelnumber,20524(probablyunderthebeltclip).Ifthereisan"A"inaboxnexttothenumber,
it'sa94A.Ifthereisa"B"inaboxnexttothenumber,it'sa94B.Thebasicdifferencesarethatthe94willtrunktrackorscan
conventionalfrequencies,notbothatthesametimewhilethe94Awill.The94Bisessentiallythesameasa94Awiththeabilityto
becomputerprogrammedandcontrolled.Ifyouhavethe94Aor94B,seemymanualforthosehere.

Howtoviewthesepagesinyourbrowsers
Ihaveformattedthesepagessothatyoucanviewthemwithanymonitor,inanybrowser(Opera,I.E.,orNetscape),atanyzoom
level,andinanyscreenareasize(ex:600x800)smallorlargefonts.Soiftheprintistoosmall,gotothe'view'menuinyour
browserandadjustittoabiggerlevel(orsmallerifyouwanttoseemoreonthescreen).
