An acronym for Agency-Fleet-Subfleet. It’s also a numeric format which the BC245XLT uses to represent and display trunking IDs for EDACS systems. On any one EDACS systems, up to 16 agencies (00-15) configured to use the system. Each agency is then divided into fleet of which there can be 16 (00-15) as well. And each fleet can further be divided into 8 subfleets (0-7). The numeric AFS format is AA-FFS where AA is the agency number (00-15), FF is the fleet number (00-15) and S is the subfleet number (0-7). For more details, see pages 50 & 84 of your BC245XLT Operating Guide.
