7 Underst anding Scanning This section provides you with background on how scanning works. Y ou don’t re ally need to know all of this to use your scanner , but some background knowledge will help you get the most from your BC898T . Underst anding Banks and Channels The memory in your scanner is organized into 10 ban ks of 50 channels each.
8 other to the point where it is impo ssible to clearly receive any of the st ations. A scanner equipped with CTCSS and DCS (like your sc anner) can code each received freq uency with a specific CTCSS or DCS frequency . Then, when you receive multiple signals, you only hear the transmission with the CTCSS or DCS tone you programmed.
9 •A i r c r a f t • Amateur radio • FRS/GMRS users • Broadcast AM/FM/TV stations • Many business radio users When you want to store a convent ional syst em, all you need to know is the frequencies they operate on. When you are scanning a conv entional system, the scanner stop s very briefly on each channel to see if there is acti vity .
10 • The frequencies for many of the 800 MHz public safety systems are listed in the National Public Safety T runked System Frequency Guide included with your BC898T scanner . Conventional scanning is a simple concept. Y ou enter a frequency used by someone you want to monitor into your scanner’s memory .
11 T ypes of T runking Systems T runking systems divide a few frequencies among many different users, but the way that each system does this is slightly dif ferent. This section describes some of the technical data behind Motorola, EDACS, and L TR trunked radio systems.
12 know both the frequencies used by the system and the LCN for each frequency so that you can program the frequencies in LCN order . Agency-Fleet-Subfleet – talk gro up ID’s fo r EDACS systems are assigned in a way that makes it easy to see at a glance the affiliation of the use r .
13 you would program a system with channels a t 1, 3, 5, and 9 into T runk 2 channels 51, 53, 55, and 59). Where T o Obt ain More Information By itself, this manual really only provides p art of what you need to know to have fun scanning – how to program and use the scanner .
