(Motorola systems only) The scanner prompts you to choose one of the two standard band plan types:
800/900 Standard or
800 Splinter. Choose
Custom if you need to create your own band plan.
Creating a custom band plan
You will need to create a custom band plan for a Motorola VHF system, Motorola UHF system, and 800 MHz Rebanded system. When you select
Custom , the scanner prompts you for the following information:
Band plan number
Select one of the 6 available band plan numbers, from
Band Plan 1 through
Band Plan 6 .
Set Base Freq
- Input the lower limit of the band frequency.
- Input the upper limit of the band frequency.
(See
Calculating upper base frequencies for more information.)
Set Offset
Enter the offset.
Set Spacing
Select the number of kHz between each channel. Your options are:
| 5.00 |
6.25 |
10.00 |
12.50 |
15.00 |
18.75 |
20.00 |

Rebanded Motorola Systems
When you create a system that has been rebanded to use the frequencies newly added for use by the FCC, you have the option now of selecting 800MHz Custom as the Motorola system type.
Once you create the system, you can set the custom band plan as follows:
- Edit System Option --> Edit Band Plan
- Select the band plan entry to edit.
- Set each of the following entries for the band plan:
- Set Base Freq (Lower and Upper)
- Set Offset
- Set Spacing
For standard rebanded systems, you need to set Band Plan 1 and Band Plan 2 as:
| Band Plan |
Base Freq (Lower) |
Base Freq (Upper) |
Offset |
