325 - SRU104 - LCN vs CC Only Trunked Systems

There are two distinct flavors of trunked radio systems that we need to be aware of when programming our scanners.

There are systems that require that every frequency for each site be programmed into their pre-determined channel number, and those that do not.

Systems that require every frequency be programmed into our scanners in their designated sequence are Logical Channel Numbered systems and include EDACS, LTR, and all flavors of DMR.

Control channel only systems only require the control channels to be programmed into our scanners, as those systems have a predetermined channel mapping as part of their system protocol. \xa0\xa0These systems include Motorola Type II systems and P25 Trunked systems.

However, don't let "Control Channel Only" fool you. \xa0There is a best practice that you should be aware of that most miss when programming your scanners. \xa0We cover that and more in this week's podcast.
