PRO-94 (200-0524) Tutorial: How to Program Trunked Frequencies

This tutorial covers programming trunk frequencies into the PRO-94 Scanner (Cat. No. 20-524A). For the tutorial on the PRO-94 Scanner (Cat. No. 20-524), click here.

The PRO-94 scanner will allow you to use the following trunk systems: Motorola Type I, Motorola Type II, and EDACS. For this tutorial, Bank A, system E1, and frequency 866.1625 are used.

For additional information on this product, see the links below:

Step 1: Initiate Program Mode

Press PROG. PGM will appear on the display.

Step 2: Enter Trunk Mode

Press TRUNK. TRUNK will appear on the display and one or more bank numbers (0-10) flash.

Step 3: Select a Bank

Press the number key (1-10) of the desired target storage bank. Select one of the following trunk system types by repeatedly pressing the UP or DOWN arrow keys. E (EDACS) or M (Motorola) appear on the display depending on which trunk system you have selected.

Display	Trunk System
E1	Motorola Type I, 800 MHz frequencies
Ed	EDACS frequencies
E2-800	Motorola Type II, 800 MHz frequencies
E2-900	Motorola Type II, 900 MHz frequencies
E2-Hi	Motorola Type II, VHF frequencies
E2-UHF	Motorola Type II, UHF frequencies

Step 4: Store the Bank

Press E (SVC). The scanner automatically selects the first channel in the selected banks.

Step 5: Select a Frequency within the Trunk System

Use the number keys (0-9) to enter a valid frequency within the trunk system.

Step 6: Store the Frequency within the Trunk System

Press E (SVC). Bank A and the bank number (1), the channel number, and E (EDACS) or M (Motorola) appears depending upon the trunk system selected.

Notes:

If you enter an invalid frequency (outside the selected range), the scanner beeps, the channel number flashes and ERROR appears. If this happens, press MON/CLR (.) to clear the frequency, then repeat the entry.

For EDACS systems, you must enter the frequencies in logical channel number (LCN) order.

If you try to enter a duplicate frequency in a bank, the scanner beeps and the channel which was previously stored appears.

It is very important that you enter all the listed frequencies for the selected agency in Step 3. Otherwise, trunking will not occur when you press E (SRC).

Step 7: Store Additional Frequencies

Press PROG or the UP arrow key to select the next channel in the bank. Repeat from Step 5 until you enter all the desired frequencies in that bank.

Step 8: Activate Trunk Scan and Search

Press SCAN, then SRC to begin searching for the trunk's data channel and scan conventional frequencies at the same time.

Note: As the scanner looks through the frequencies, you will see them on the display. When the scanner finds the controlling data channel, the scanner begins trunking.
