Motorola Type IIi Hybrid
Encyclopedia
A Motorola Type IIi Hybrid system is a type of Trunked radio system
that mixes "blocks" of Type I
Fleets/Subfleets with Type II
talkgroups. In some cases, all radios support Type II
, but in some cases, Type I
radios might be used exclusively in subfleets while the Type II
s are used exclusively in talkgroups.
The most common reason that an agency sets up a Type IIi Hybrid system is because they have newer Type II
radios that they want to interoperate with older Type I
radios, without having to create new Type II
talkgroups.
Trunked radio system
A trunked radio system is a complex type of computer-controlled radio system. Trunked systems use a few channels , and can have virtually unlimited talkgroups. The control channel computer sends packets of data to enable one talkgroup to talk together, regardless of frequency...

Motorola Type I
Motorola Type I Is the original type of Motorola's Trunked radio system; it is based on Fleets and Subfleets. Each system had a certain number of Fleets assigned, and then each Fleet had a certain number of Subfleets and radio IDs. The distribution of Fleets and Subfleets on a Type I system is...

Motorola Type II refers to the second generation Motorola Trunked radio systems that replaced fleets and subfleets with the concept of talkgroups and individual radio IDs. There are no dependencies on fleetmaps, therefore there are no limitations on how many radio IDs can participate on a...
