ner tuned to a desired ID.

Temporarily Storing a Talk Group ID
into the Monitor ID Memory
To store a talk group ID into a temporary monitor memo-
ry, press
MON/CLR (•) . This lets you store the ID prior to
moving it into a list memory. Press SRC to resume
searching.
Note: To program the ID stored in the monitor ID memo-
ry into the ID scan list, see “Moving Talk Group IDs to
Talk Group ID Lists” on Page 49.
Locking Out Talk Group IDs
Many municipal and commercial services use trunk sys-
tems to transmit signals from such devices as water
meter transmitters, door alarms, and traffic signals.
Some signals are encrypted, as well, and most are not
voice signals. Since all these are assigned IDs just like
other users, you may want to lock out reception of these
ID signals. You can lock out up to 100 IDs at one time.
Note: If you lock out an ID while searching, it is also
locked out of the scan list(s). See “Using Talk Group ID
Lists” on Page 48.
