Programming Motorola Trunking Systems (UHF-Lo)
You can program the scanner to receive transmissions in the UHF-Lo band (406–512 MHz) of the
Motorola trunking system. You can receive these transmissions by:
• Checking the trunking system’s control channel. You must program the system’s base frequency and
offset frequency to do this.
Notes:
• Base and offset frequencies vary for each type of trunking system. You can get information about these
frequencies for the trunking system you want to scan using www.trunkscanner.com, other Internet sources,
or locally-published guidebooks.
• If you try to enter an offset frequency in the VHF and UHF-Hi bands (under 174 and 806–960 MHz), the
scanner will ignore the entry.
Follow these steps to program Motorola trunking frequencies in the UHF-Lo band.
