FEATURES

Your RadioShack Handheld Scanner is one of a new generation of scanners designed to track Motorola (such as Smartnet



) and hybrid analog trunking

Plus systems, and GE/Ericsson (EDACS



are extensively used in many communicationsystems.

Trunkingcommunicationssystems let a large group of 2-way radio users (or even different groups of 2-way radio users) efficiently use a set of frequencies. Insteadof selectinga specificfrequencyfor a transmission, the user simply selects a talk group. The trunking systemautomaticallytransmitsthe call on the first available frequency, and also sends a code that uniquely identifies that transmission.

Since the trunking system might send a call and its response on different frequencies, it is difficult to listen to trunked communications using a regular scanner. The trunking scanner monitors the data sent with a 2way radiotransmission, so you can hear the call and response for that user and more easily follow the conversation.

The scanner also lets you scan conventionaltransmissions, and is preprogrammed with service search banks for convenience. By pressing a single button,you can quickly search those frequencies

ABOUT YOUR SCANNER

Onceyouunderstanda few simple terms used in this manual and familiarize yourself with your scanner's features, you can put the scanner to work for you. You simply determine the type of communications you want to receive, then set the scanner to scan them.

A frequency is the receiving signal location (expressed in kHz or MHz). To find active frequencies, you can use the search function.

About Your Scanner

You can also search the SEARCH banks, which are preprogrammed

About the Keypad

frequencies in the scanner's memory (see “Searching a Preprogrammed Frequency Range” on Page 32 for the frequency list). You can even change the frequency range on one of the SEARCH banks (SR5) to limit the search.

When you find a frequency, you can store it into a programmable memory location called a channel, which is grouped with other channels in a channel-storage bank. You can then scan the channel-storage banks to see if there is activity on the frequencies stored there. Each time the scanner finds an active frequency, it stays on that channel until the transmission ends.

Weather Radio — allows you to listen to NOAA weather broadcasts without programming. See “Listening to the Weather Band” on Page 39.

UNDERSTANDING BANKS

CHANNEL STORAGE B

ANKS

A bank is a storage area for a group of channels. Channels are storage areas for frequencies. Whereas a channel can only containone frequency, a bankcan hold numerous channels.

To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, your scanner divides the channels into 10 banks (

00 to 99) channels each, a

100 ( total of 1,000 channels. You can use eachchannel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those used by Motorola trunking, EDACS trunking,Marine, CB, Police,Fire, Aircraft and Ham(see “Typical Band Usage (in MHz)” on Page 71).

For example,a police department might use four frequencies, one foreachsideoftown.Youcould program the police frequencies starting with in bank 0) and program the fire department frequencies starting

0 to 9)of

Ô NOTE Ô

Forexample,ifyou wanted to find active frequencies between a range of 150.1000 and 150.500 0, you would put both of those frequencies in the limit search bank.

SEARCH BANKS

Your scannerhas five preprogrammedsearch banks and one limit search bank.You can set the lowerand higher frequency limit in the limit search bank.

For the default setting, see “Searching a Preprogrammed Frequency Range” on Page 32).

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCANNER'S MODES

You can program each channel with anyof four receive modes (AM,FM,MOT,andED).

However, you cannot program MOT (Motorola), or ED (EDACS) mode in VHF. Each receive mode affectshow your scanner operates when scanning and receiving transmissions, and also affects what transmissions you receive when youset the scanner to the closed mode. See “Changingthe Receive Mode” on Page 49.

AM MODE

The AM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using amplitude modulation (AM), primarily used for aircraft,military, some amateur radio, and some government transmissions. (Refer to “Specifications” on Page 84 for a list of the frequencies covered.) When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the AM mode, it always stops on the transmission.

FM MODE

The FM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using frequency modulation (FM), used for most public safety transmissions, as well as broadcast, business, and amateur radio transmissions. When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the FM mode, it always stops on the transmission.

Ô NOTE Ô

Your scanner’s closed mode lets you hear only those talk groups y ou specify. For more information, see “Open and Closed Modes” on Page 25.

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

MOTOROLA MODE

You can set your scanner so it decodes the talk group IDs used with Motorolatrunking systems. This setting is called the Motorola mode.

Motorola systems are trunking systems used primarily by business and public safety groups to efficientlyallocate a small number of frequencies (as few as five) to many groups of users (as many as several thousand). To do this, each group of users in the system is assigned to a specific talk group. For example,the east side patrol officers might all be assigned to talk group 2160. One channel in the system is continuouslytransmittingdata that identifies which talk groups are active on which channel. In addition, this talk group information is also transmitted as subaudible data on each active channel.

When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

the Motorola mode, it firstdecodes the talk group ID data included with the transmission. In the open mode, the scanner stops on the transmission and displays the talk group ID on the bottom line of the display. In the closedmode, the scanner only stops on the transmission if the talk group ID matches a talk group ID that you have stored in the bank's talk group ID list and have not locked out.

Motorola trunking systems come inthree categories:Type I, Type II, and Type I/II Hybrid. Each category displays and uses talk group IDs in slightly different ways.

MotorolaType I IDsarein the form

FFF-SS,where:

FFF=Fleet ID SS=Subfleet ID

Type I systems are usually organized with different user groupsassignedto different fleets.

To properlymap the raw Type I data to the correct fleet-subfleet format, you must program the correct fleet map into the scanner. Fleet map information is widely available on the Internet for most Type I systems in use.

Type II system talk g roups are identified by a 5-digit number. Valid talk group IDs are divisible by 16. If you try to enter an invalid talk group ID, the scanner rounds the ID down to the next valid ID.

Type I/II hybrid systems use both fleet-subfleet and 5-digit formats for talk group IDs.

Ô NOTE Ô

Motorola Mode

• For example, a valid fleet-subfleet ID identifying all detectives within a police depart ment might be 000—12, where 000 identifies all police users a nd 12 identifies the Detective division.

• If the scanner decodes c ontrol channeldatawhile receiving transmissions from a Motorola trunking system,

CNTRL appears on

the bottom line of the display.

EDACS MODE

You can set your scanner so it decodes the talk group IDs used with EDACS (GE/Ericsson) trunking systems. This setting is called the EDACS mode.

EDACS systems are trunking systems used primarily by business or private communicationsserviceproviders, as wellas by some public safety organizations. EDACS systems transmit active talk group information only on a dedicated control channel.

EDACSfrequenciesareorganized in a specific order. Eachfrequency

Understanding Your Scanner's Modes

is assigneda Logical Channel Number (LCN). For the scanner to correctly switch to an active frequency, you must program the frequencies in LCN order, starting

OPEN AND CLOSED

ODES

You can set your scanner to change the way it receives signals. These settings, called open mode and closed mode, affect how the scanner receives signals from communications systems that use some type of closed squelch (such as Motorola and EDACS systems).

You can set each of the scanner's channel storage banks to open or closed mode.

In open mode, the scanner scans signals transmitted in all systems. The scanner stopson any ID code and only uses the ID list to look up ID text tags.

In closed mode, the scanner stops only on signals that have an ID code which is found in the ID list for the bank. Also, the scanner scans signals transmitted only under the following conditions:

• When the signals are in the FM mode.

• When the signals are in the MOT, or ED mode and the signal's ID code matchesthe programmed ID code.

You can also select the user or talk groups you want the scanner toreceiveinclosedmode.

• If you program a weather channel as the priority channel, the scanner stays in the priority channelonlywhen the scanner detects the weather alert tone

• This scanner cannot set a channel as the priority channel if the channel's receive mode is MOT or ED.

With the priority feature, you can scan through programmed channels and still not miss an important or interesting transmission on a specific channel. When priority is turned on, the scanner checks that channel every 2 seconds, and stays on the channel if there is activity until the activity stops.

TRUNKING

TRUNKING OPERATION

The scanner tracks transmissions that use the Motorola Type I and

Trunking

Type II (such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus) and hybrid analog trunking systems, plus GE/ Ericsson (EDACS) type systems extensively used in many communicationsystems.

Trunking systems allocate a few frequencies to many different users. When the mobile unit transmits a signal, one frequency is chosen from among the allocated frequencies in that trunking system. Theuser's ID talk group is sent with the signal.

To receivetrunking signals, you must store all the trunking control frequencies for Motorola systems or all the trunking group frequencies for EDACS in one bank (see “Storing Known Frequencies into Channels” on Page 26) andinputID codes inthe ID memory (see “Storing Talk Group IDs” on Page 62).

Your PRO-95automatically calculates Motorola voice channel frequencies when it decodes the control channel. This eliminates

the need to enter all the Motorola group frequencies.

The controlchannels are subject to change depending on the day. Therefore enter all the control frequencies in the same bank. If you do not know which is the controlchannel, it is betterto enter all the system frequencies intothe same bank.(Refer to the supplied Trunking Guide.)

When the scanner decodesthe Motorolacontrol channel and finds the voicechannel, the scanner displays the control channel memory location on the top line, the receivedfrequency with

(voice channel) on the second line, the bank and control channel memory location number on the third line and the Motorola ID number on the bottom line.

When an ID code is received, the ID list for the bank is searched, and if found, the text name stored for the ID appears. If not found, scanning resumes immediately unless the bank is in open trunking

mode.

UNDERSTANDING T

RUNKING

In the past, groups that transmit frequently, such as police departments, could transmit on only a few frequencies. This resulted in heavy traffic and often required 2-way radio users to wait for a specific frequency to clear before transmitting. Trunked systems allow more groups of 2-way radio users to use fewer frequencies.Instead of selectinga

IMPORTANT

To listen to the transmission, the mode of the programmed channel must be the same as that of the trunking channel (MOT, or ED).

Ô NOTE Ô

• There might be morethan one talk group transmitting atatimeinsome Motorola trunking systems. If you set the scanner to manually tune in Motorola trunking mode, you will hearthet alk group on that channel, but the display will alternate between all active IDs.

• Trunking group frequencies are included in the supplied Trunking Guide. Frequency fleet map and talk group information arealsowidely available on the Internet, (for example, at

www. trunkscanner. com).

Trunking

specific frequency to transmit on,

Ô NOTE Ô

• You canscan only one type of trunkedfrequency either EDACS or Motorola in a bank at one time. You can, however, mix conventional channels and frequencies in a bank.

• If you are programming trunked frequencies for

Trunking

MotorolaType I and hybrid systems, youmust first program the fleet map (see “Programming Fleet Maps ” on Page 60).

• If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS system you must store them in the Logical Channel Number order (usually listed as LCN#). For example, LCN1 would go into channel 01 for the current bank, and LCN2 would go into channe l 02.

a trunked system chooses one of several frequencies when the 2-way radio user transmits.The systemautomaticallytransmitsthe call on that frequency, and also sends a code that identifies that 2-wayradiouser'stransmissionon a control channel.

Your scanner lets you easily hear both the call and response transmissions for that 2-way radio user and therefore follow the conversation. For EDACS and Motorola (above 406 MHz range), the scannermonitors the control channel between each transmission to identify talk groups.

SETTING SQUELCH FOR

THE TRUNKING MODE

Your scanner automaticallymutes the audio during trunk scanning when it decodes controlchannel data. However, we recommend you turn

SQUELCH clockwise and

leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel.

FREQUENCY CONVERSION

The tuninglocation of a station can be expressed in frequency (kHz or MHz) or in wavelength (meters). The following informationcanhelpyoumakethe necessary conversions.

1 MHz (million) = 1,000 kHz (thousand)

To convertMHz to kHz, multiply the numberof megahertz by 1,000:

30.62 (MHz) x 1,000 = 30,620 kHz

To convertfrom kHz to MHz, divide the number of kilohertz by 1,000:

127.800 (kHz) / 1,000 = 127.8 MHz

To convertMHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz:

300/50 MHz = 6 meters
