PROGRAMMING TRUNKING SYSTEMS
Note for Motorola/P25 systems: If you are not sure if the system is Motorola or P25, look at the system voice in the RR database for your system. Those entries that say System Voice:
Analog and APCO-25 Common Air Interface are not true Project 25 systems as they have one or more analog talkgroups. Program these systems as a Motorola system and let the scanner detect the digital. If the System Voice says System Voice: APCO-25 Common Air
Interface Exclusive then the system is a true Project 25 system and program it as a P25 system.

Set Number Tag allows you to number a system. The default setting is no number tag (blank).
See also Using Number Tags.
1. Scroll to ‘Set Number Tag’ and press E/ .
2. Enter the number tag ( 0-999) (Press .No to clear the display) and press E/ to save and exit.
ID Scan/Search (no EDACS SCAT) sets whether the scanner scans the programmed ID groups
(ID Scan) or searches for all IDs (ID Search) in a trunking system. The default setting is ID search.
1. Scroll to ‘ID Scan/Search’ and press E/ .
2. Scroll to ‘ID Scan’ or ‘ID Search’ and press E/ to save and exit.
Note: You can also toggle this while scanning each trunked system by pressing then
SCAN/SEARCH.
Set Delay Time sets the delay (in seconds) the amount of time the scanner stays on a channel after the transmission has ended before moving to the next channel. A negative delay will force a resume after that number of seconds. This setting applies to all channels in the system. You cannot set the delay on a ‘per channel’ basis. The default setting is 2 seconds.
1. Scroll to ‘Set Delay Time’ and press E/ .
2. Scroll to the desired delay time (-10, -5, -2, 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, or 30 secs.) and press E/ to save and exit.
Edit Fleetmap (Motorola Type I/IIi systems only) allows you to select a preprogrammed fleetmap or program a fleetmap for Motorola Type I systems. You must program a system fleet map in order for the scanner to properly track and display talkgroup ID’s.
1. Scroll to ‘Edit Fleetmap’ and press E/ .
2. To select a Preset Fleetmap, scroll to ‘Preset’ and press E/ .
3. Scroll to the number of the preset fleetmap and press E/ to save and exit. See Preset
Fleetmaps.

5. At ‘Block 0’ scroll to the size code (0-14) and press E/ See Size Codes.
6. The scanner will prompt you to the next available block so you can scroll to and enter the next size code (0-14) then press E/ .
7. The scanner will prompt you to the next available block so you can scroll to and enter the next size code (0-14) then press E/ .
8. Repeat for each block as needed (0-7) and you will return to the ‘Edit Sys Option’ menu.
Note: If you select size code 12, 13, or 14, these restrictions apply:
• 12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4 or 6.
• 13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4.
• 14 can only be assigned to Block 0.
Since these size codes require multiple blocks, you will be prompted for the next available block.
For example, if you assign Block 0 as 12, the scanner prompts you for block 2, the next block
46
available, instead of block 1. If you assign Block 0 as 14, you would not see another prompt because 14 uses all available blocks.
