- Does your local Police/Fire/EMS use a trunking system? Help is on the way!
If you have had to try and follow a multi-jurisdictional/city wide/county wide trunking radio
system, Uniden may have just the scanner you need. The Uniden BearCat BC235XLT TrunkTracker was recently showcased at the Winter 1997 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and is scheduled to appear on the market in April 1997.
The radio only follows Motorola Trunking systems of Type I, II, or IIi. It does not follow Ericsson/GE EDACS, or E.F. Johnson LTR formats.
For more information check out the product info here.
Rumor has it the mobile/base version will offer computer control & CTCSS. May also include "G-WHIZ" circuitry to help when monitoring Ericsson/GE EDACS systems.
