Trunk Scanning
Notes:
• Usually, the settings for base frequency, offset
channel, and spacing are common between
systems, therefore these settings are applied
to all Motorola 800MHz custom banks.
Motorola UHF / VHF
You can program the scanner to receive
transmissions in the UHF band (406-512 MHz) /
VHF band (136-174MHz) of the Motorola trunking
system. You must program the system’s base
frequency, offset channel, and spacing frequency.
Notes:
• Base frequencies, offset channel, and
spacing vary for each type of trunking
system. You can get information about these
frequencies for the trunking system you
want to scan using www.radioreference.com,
other Internet sources, or locally published
guidebooks.
• If you try to program a base frequency in the
800MHz bands (806-960 MHz), the scanner
ignores the entry.
