EF Jiohnson thumb area system programming

On my new bcd396t scanner the manual is vague as to what number I am supposed to put in for the LCN for each channel in the EDACS system. Any ideas?
EDACS is correct for EF Johnson right or is it LT?

I have for 851.2625, 852.2635, 853.2625, 854.2875, 855.2625
I just tried guessing by putting in a 1,2,3,4,5 for each one in sequence.

Thanks!

If so it is LTR.

Tuscola County is using an EF Johnson Multi-Net TRS, which you can attempt to decode while in LTR mode, but you need the correct LCN, but I don't think that your scanner will decode it. There is however, software that will give you the correct talkgroups.

As I understand it, Tuscola County will be joining the MPSCS in the future, and your scanner will decode that system.

I saw that about mpscs/ But that date is over 3 years old. also to move onto that system is major $$$ that Michigan govt's don't have.
