What is a TrunkTracker III?
The BC780XLT TrunkTracker III is the third generation of TrunkTracker technology developed by Uniden. The first TrunkTracker was the handheld BC235XLT followed by the base/mobile BC895XLT. Uniden also took this technology and made the PRO-90, PRO-91, PRO-2050 and PRO-2066 for RadioShack. These TrunkTrackers could only work on Motorola systems in the 800 MHz band. And they could only monitor one such TRS at a time. The introduction of the BC245XLT TrunkTracker II fixed many of these limitations. Not only could the BC245XLT monitor Motorola Type I, Type II, Hybrid, SMARTNET, and PRIVACY PLUS trunked systems just like the orignal TrunkTrackers, it can also track trunked radio systems made by GE/Ericsson which are commonly called EDACS. Such systems can now be monitored with the BC245XLT if they are in the VHF, 400, 500, 800 or 900 MHz frequency bands. Other enhancements allow the simultaneous monitoring of multiple trunked radio systems along with conventional frequencies all at the same
