A method is provided of allocating channels in a trunked radio frequency communication system (10) having a plurality of channels, each with a channel rate. The method includes the steps of transmitting channel characteristics on idle channels of the plurality of channels by a base site (12, 13, 14). Idle channels are then scanned for channel characteristics by a communication unit (16, 17, 18). The method also includes the step of seizing an idle channel, by the communication unit, based, at least in part, upon the channel characteristics. |
