20-527 Owner’s Manual Draft A bank is a storage area for a group of channels. Channels are storage areas for frequencies. Whereas a channel can only contain one frequency, a bank can 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 (0 to 9) of 100 (00 to 99) channels each, a total of 1,000 channels.
20-527 Owner’s Manual Draft 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.
20-527 Owner’s Manual Draft the east side patrol officers might all be assigned to talk group 2160. One channel in the system is continuously transmitting data 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 the Motorola mode, it first decodes the talk group ID data included with the transmission.
20-527 Owner’s Manual Draft 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 communications service providers, as well as by some public safety organizations. EDACS systems transmit active talk group information only on a dedicated control channel. EDACS frequencies are organized in a specific order.
20-527 Owner’s Manual Draft the transmission if the LTR data matches a talk group ID that you have stored in the bank’s talk group ID list and have not locked out.
