EDACS Trunked Systems
Please note that these pages are meant as general instructions. While most of the
information here applies to all scanners, some options may not be available on certain
scanner models. Model-specific options are indicated in the text.
This section deals with EDACS Wide or standard systems. Click here for information on EDACS

ESK tracking on an EDACS system. Note that the scanner cannot decode EDACS ProVoice. Below is
an example of an EDACS trunked system from
