User Defined Fleet Maps

Type I Programming Information

When a Type I system is designed, the address information for all the ID’s is divided

into 8 equal sized blocks, numbered 0–7. When you program your scanner to track a

Type I system, you must select a size code for each of these blocks. When you have

assigned a size code to all 8 blocks, you’ll have defined the fleet map for the system

you are tracking. Each size code determines the number of fleets, subfleets, and

ID’s each block will have. For example, a size code of S-4 has one fleet, which is

divided into 16 separate subfleets, and it has a total of 512 individual ID’s.

When a block is assigned a size code, the fleet or fleets created within the block are

assigned a Type I ID. The way these ID’s display on your scanner depend on the

block number and the block’s size code. When a Type I ID appears, the leftmost digit

represents the block which contains the ID.

The next 2-3 digits identify which fleet is active, and the last digit(s) identifies the

subfleet.

The details concerning how the size codes are selected by a Type I System

designer are highly dependent on the specific needs of the system’s users. Some

organizations might want many subfleets with only a few radios each, while another

organization might want only a few subfleets with many radios each. Your task is to

program your fleet map with the same size code assignments as the trunked

system. If you do this accurately, you’ll track all the Fleet-Subfleet combinations

used by the system. In other words, you’ll hear complete communications while

monitoring a trunked system.

If you don’t already know the size codes used, you’ll have to guess at them. But

since you don’t have to figure out all the blocks at once, this isn’t as hard as it
