Beyond the Basics
To scan a mix of trunking and conventional banks, select
the banks you wish to be active, and then press TRUNK.
The scanner will instantly begin scanning. You can switch to
search mode and the scanner will search for any active IDs
on the system.
To switch ID scan or ID search, press SRCH in the trunked
system.
about multi-track
When more than one trunk system is active (for example two
or more trunked systems or a trunked system and one or
more conventional frequencies), the scanner jumps between
systems/frequencies as follows:
TRUNK SCAN: The scanner moves to a trunked system and
looks for IDs in your scan list(s) for up to 1 second. If it fi nds
no activity on your programmed talk groups, it moves on to
conventional channels in the same bank or to the next active
bank. If the scanner fi nds a talk group in one of your active
scan lists, you will begin to hear that communication and the
scanner will display the proper talk group number. When the
communication ends, the scanner will wait for 2 seconds for
any further replies and, if none, the scanner will move to the
conventional channels in the same bank or to the next bank.
The scanner will not look for any other IDs within the same
trunked system (as this would slow the scan process). If you
press the
e key while you are listening to one ID, the scanner
will check to see if another ID in your scan list is active. It will
disregard the ID which you were just monitoring.
TRUNK SEARCH: This mode works similarly to trunk scan.
If the scanner fi nds any (nonlocked-out) ID when it checks
the control channel, you will hear it. You will then hear any
replies that follow within 2 seconds. After that, the scanner
moves on and does not continuously search the system for
additional IDs (on busy systems you would never leave the
