New in this version

Firmware version 1.06 provides the following enhancement to your 20-163/20-164 Triple Trunking Radio Scanner:

Custom programmable trunking tables

Add custom programmable trunking table functionality to the 20-163/20-164. This feature allows the configuration of custom trunking band plans, such as those used in rebanded 800 MHz Motorola™ trunked radio systems that utilize 3600 baud control channels.

Changed 470-512 MHz step size to 6.25 kHz

Many areas are proceeding with spectrum “refarming” which adds new channels to existing bands. Consistent with other UHF bands currently in the radio, the UHF “T” Band range is changed to use 6.25 kHz steps.
