scanning type I and hybrid trunked systems

Your scanner is preset to scan Type II system IDs. When you scan trunked frequencies,

each Type II user ID you see appears as an even number without a dash (example 2160).

Your scanner can also scan Type I trunked systems. Each Type I ID appears as a three- or

four-digit number, followed by a hyphen, followed by a one- or two-digit number (example

200-14).

If you notice a mix of odd- and even-user IDs (examples 6477, 2160, 6481, 6144, and

1167), then you are probably monitoring either a Type I or hybrid (a combination of Type I

and Type II user IDs) system with the S-Bit function turned off (see “turning the status bit

ignore (S-Bit) on or off”).

Subfleet information is included with the frequency list for a Type I system. To enter the

provided map, see “programming a fleet map”.

Note: To locate suitable fleet map information, review the contents of website

www.trunkscanner.com.

If you do not already know the size codes used, you will have to guess. Since you do not

have to figure out all the blocks at one time, this is not as hard as it might seem.

Select a size code for a block, then press SCAN and listen to the conversations. If you are

receiving most of the replies, then you have probably selected the right size code and can

program the next block of the map. There are 16 preset fleet maps to choose from, and it is

best to start with these when setting up a Type I or hybrid trunk scanning bank.

If none of the following preset fleet maps allow you to follow complete conversations, then

you probably need to program your own fleet map (see “Programming a Fleet Map”).
