PROGRAMMING MOTOROLA VHF AND UHF TRUNKING SYSTEMS
Your scanner is capable of receiving Motorola trunked radio systems operating in the VHF and UHF bands.
To monitor these systems it is necessary to program the scanner with three additional parameters, the base
frequency, step and offset.
HINTS:
. Base frequency, step and offset vary for each individual UHF trunking system. You can get information
about these frequencies for the trunking system you want to scan using trunkscanner.com, other Internet
sources, or locally published guidebooks.
. Systems with multiple channel ranges can be programmed using PC application software.
