FLORIDA LTR TRUNKED SYSTEM INFORMATION

Updated 03/19/05

LTR TRUNKED SYSTEM INFORMATION

In a conventional radio system, the user may only have access to a single channel. If the user wishes to make a call, he must first monitor the channel to make sure it is clear. If the channel is busy, the user must continue to monitor the channel until the co-channel user has terminated the conversation. By contrast, in a LTR trunked system the channel selection is automatic. When the user initiates a call, the trunking system electronically "monitors" each channel in the system and automatically selects one of the clear (unused) channel. Once a channel is selected, it becomes exclusive for the duration of the transmission and cannot be interrupted by other users.

Logic Trunked Radio (LTR) Trunk Systems do not have a control channel such as Motorola or Ericsson Trunked systems. On a LTR Trunk System a data burst can be heard on each frequency of the system around every 10 to 20 seconds. Also LTR frequencies do not have any CTCSS or DCS tones (pl tones). LTR Trunked systems are also known as SMR (Shared Mobile Radio) systems.

Each business user on a LTR Trunked system is assigned a talkgroup ID(s) that consists of an Area Code, a Home Channel and a User ID.

Area Code - It is used if two different nearby LTR Trunked systems are using the same frequency(s). The Area Code can be either 0 or 1. One system is assigned an Area Code of 0 and the other is assigned an Area Code of 1.

Home Channel - Each user is assigned a home channel (frequency). If the system is not very busy, then all conversations can be heard on the home channel. When the system starts getting busy, one or more of the users will change over to another free home channel (frequency) or to one of the overflow channels. Overflow channels have no assigned users. An LTR system can have a maximum of 20 channels (frequencies).

User ID - Each business user is assigned a single or a group of ID's (user identification) from 000 to 254. Most small business users will only have a single ID. Each home channel (frequency) can have a maximum of 255 user ID's.

              Example:
              0-05-098
                0 = Area Code (0 or 1)
               05 = Home Channel (01 to 20)
              098 = User ID (000 to 254)

The systems on the website have their home channels and frequencies listed. The frequencies listed without channel numbers are the overflow frequencies and still need their channel numbers figured out.

Some LTR Trunk Systems are single frequency (channel) systems. They use the talkgroup ID's in the same way as pl tones are used. On a single channel system the scanner will display other active talkgroups besides the one that it is locked on.

Most LTR Trunked Systems are PassPort (LTR-Net) enabled. The LTR Passport-enabled service allows multiple sites to be linked together and includes "follow-me roaming" features that are similar to the automatic handoff of radio signals characteristic of cellular radio systems.

Example: A Taxicab leaving Melbourne going to Orlando automatically switches to one of the Orlando systems after it gets out of the range of the Melbourne system. All communications will then be linked back to Melbourne via the Orlando system.

A dispatcher has the ability to contact a selected group of users, contact an individual user or to use Fleet Call to contact all users. Some systems can also have telephone interconnect.

These systems are used by taxicabs, pest control, wreckers, repairmen etc. The system owners lease air time to individual business users. The individual users do not need a separate license, only the system owner needs a license. Because of this the only way of finding out who is using these systems is by monitoring them.

Digital Packet Data talkgroups are used to send computer information that can contain vehicle location (GPS), status or any other type of digital information. All that can be heard on these talkgroups are bursts of digital data.

The frequencies with channel numbers are in LCN order and must be entered into the scanner in this order. Channels not listed must be left blank.

              Example:
               Ch.   Frequency
                1    461.6250
                2    blank
                3    461.3750
                4    blank
                5    461.2750
                6    blank
                7    461.8000

You can only enter one LTR Trunk System per bank.

Only the repeater output frequencies are listed. The repeater input frequencies are 5.0 MHz higher.
