A receiving device in a trunked radio communications system determines a transmit frequency, wherein the transmit frequency is calculated by subtracting a voice channel number from 319, multiplying by a channel spacing and adding a base frequency to yield the transmit frequency, if the voice channel number is between 319 and 0. The receiving device determines a receive frequency by 851.0125 MHz+[(319-a voice channel number)*25,000 Hz], if the voice channel number is between 319 and 0. In any case, the voice channel number is communicated in an outbound signaling message defined by Motorola's 3600-baud radio trunking protocol.
