User's Manual

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
bank.
The scanner will not look for any other IDs within the same trunked system (as this
would slow the scan process). If you press the ▲ key while you are listening to
one ID,
the scanner will check to see if another ID in your Scan List is active. It will disregard
the
ID to which you were just monitoring.
TRUNK SEARCH: This mode works similarly to Trunk Scan. If the scanner finds
any (nonlocked-
out) ID when it checks the control channel, you will hear it. You will then hear any
replies that follow within 2 seconds. After that the scanner will move on and not
continuously search the system for additional IDs (on busy systems you would
never leave
the system if this were the case). If you press the ▲ key while monitoring one ID,
the radio
will check if any other IDs are active (it will disregard the ID you just left), and if none
are
active, it will move on.

EDACS® Reception
EDACS® Tracking
TrunkTracker III now allows tracking of EDACS® trunked systems. Until now
these widely
used systems have been almost impossible to monitor with a conventional
scanner. With
your TrunkTracker III listening to EDACS(s) is remarkably easy, and perhaps
even easier
than conventional scanning.
