basis. Trunking ID delay specifies
the amount of time the scanner
dwells on the control channel
looking for reply traffic on the
previous talkgroup before
resuming scan operation.
Customizing the trunked ID delay
may be useful if you are missing a
lot of reply traffic on a particular
system. We recommend starting
with the default value of 2.0
seconds.
1. While in the desired ID list,
press FUNC , and then
./DELAY .
2. Press S or T to select None,
0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5,
or 4.0 seconds.
3. Press ENTER .

Clearing All Talkgroup
IDs in One Bank
You can clear all talkgroup IDs
within a bank. This lets you quickly
delete all talkgroup IDs from a
bank if you want to use the bank to
store different data (such as a new
set of talkgroup IDs).

HINTS

• Most Motorola
trunking systems
include a “hang time”
where the channel
remains assigned to
a talkgroup for a
short period after the
user unkeys their
microphone. This
hang time is typically
1.5 seconds but can
vary among different
systems. The
scanner’s trunked
delay function
begins after this
hang time expires.
Therefore, the total
amount of delay
present after a user
unkeys their
microphone equals
the trunking system
hang time, plus any
trunked ID delay that
you have
programmed into the
scanner. For
example, if you wish
to wait a total of two
seconds for a reply
trunked call, and the
system you are
monitoring is using
1.5 seconds of hang
time, you should set
the trunked delay for
that system to 0.5
seconds. EDACS
systems do not
employ hang time.
• Conventional
channel delay is
fixed at 2 seconds
and is controlled
independently of
trunked ID delay.

Delay Function” on
Page 66 for more
