setting squelch for trunking mode
Your scanner automatically mutes the audio during trunk 
scanning when it decodes control channel data. However, 
we recommend you turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a 
point just after the rushing sound stops. This lets the scanner 
quickly acquire the data channel.
programming trunking frequencies
You program trunking frequencies the same as non-trunked 
frequencies, except that you must store the appropriate 
mode (MO, ED, or LT) with each frequency.
You can scan only one type of trunked frequency, either 
EDACS, Motorola, or LTR in a bank at one time. You can, 
however, mix conventional channels and frequencies in a 
bank.
If you are programming trunked frequencies for Motorola 
Type I and hybrid systems, you must fi rst program the 
fl eet map (see “Programming Fleet Maps”).
If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS system 
you must store them in the Logical Channel Number 
order (usually listed as LCN#). For example, LCN1 would 
go into channel 01 for the current bank, and LCN2 would 
go into channel 02.
If you are programming frequencies for an LTR system 
you must store them in the home repeater order. For 
example, home repeater order 1 would go into channel 
01 for the current bank, and home repeater order 2 would 
go into channel 02.
Follow these steps to program trunked frequencies:
1. Press PGM and select the bank.
