Multi-Track
The 20-426 allows you to track more than one system at a time. Here are some
highlights of
this feature:
✎ You can actually track up to 5 trunking systems at one time.
✎ You can trunk scan, or search and scan conventional frequencies at the same
time.
✎ You can program conventional frequencies in the same bank as trunking
systems.
After the scanner finishes checking a trunked system for activity, it will
conventionally
scan the other frequencies in the bank (remember, only trunking frequencies are
programmed in Trunk mode).
To scan a mix of trunking and conventional banks, select the banks you wish to be
active,
and then press TRUNK. The scanner will instantly begin scanning. You can switch
to Search
mode and the scanner will search for any active ID’s on the system.
Note: To switch ID Scan or ID Search, press PVT or SRCH in the trunked system.
Multi-Track Operational Details
When more than one trunk system is active (for example two or more trunked
systems or a
trunked system and one or more conventional frequencies), the radio jumps
between
systems/frequencies as follows:
TRUNK SCAN: The scanner moves to a trunked system and looks for IDs in your
Scan
List(s) for up to 1 second. If it finds no activity on your programmed talkgroups, it
moves
on to conventional channels in the same bank or to the next active bank.
If the scanner finds a talkgroup in one of your active Scan Lists, you will begin to
hear that
communication and the scanner will of course display the proper talkgroup number.
When
the communication ends, the scanner will wait for 2 seconds for any further replies
and, if
none, the scanner will move to the conventional channels in the same bank or to the
next
