8:RECORD

You can flag any channel for recording using this menu function. Use your
own recording device plugged into the jack on the back of the scanner.

2:TRUNK

Choose the Trunk bank. The following options are available for the selected trunk
bank only. Repeat using a different trunk bank, if necessary.

1:TRUNK TYPE

You will need to assign the correct trunking type for the bank you are about
to program. If you want to listen to a Motorola Type I system, you will need
to use this Menu option to assign the same. If you do not know the type of
trunking system you are about to monitor, refer to the guide included with
the scanner or check out www.bearcat1.com.
Note: Some trunking systems require that you know the channel order. In

these cases you will also need to start programming the trunked
system at the start of the bank. The scanner defaults to the most
common type of trunking system, Motorola Type II 800.

2:TRUNK CHANNEL

1:FREQUENCY

To use Trunk Tracking, you need to program a frequency for at least
one channel. Also you can enter an alpha tag for each channel in
this Menu.

2:STEPS

You can assign a variety of step sizes to the channel.

3:TALK GROUP

You can program IDs into the Scan List memory either during Trunk Scan or
Search without going into the Menu. However, you can also use the Menu
to program IDs. This is particularly helpful when you are not near the
trunked system you wish to later monitor. You can set it up and have it
ready to go at some later time. After you have selected the Scan List
location (1-10), you can then do the following:
1. Program ID number
2. Set an alpha tag
3. Set Record to ON/OFF.
4. Assign a Beep Alert to the ID. Whenever that ID is active, you will hear

three beeps at the start of the transmission.

4:DELAY

You can set delay for a trunk system on a bank by bank basis. If you've set
delay for 1 second, then there will be a 1 second delay in Trunk Search for
that bank and a 1 second delay for all the talkgroups you have programmed
into Scan List memory. You cannot set delay individually by talkgroup. The
default delay is 2 seconds.

5:RECORD

This Record option applies to Trunk Search. All talkgroups received during
Trunk Search will be recordable through the TAPE OUT jack on the back of
the scanner. To record individual talkgroups during Scan, see Item 5 on the
next page. The default is off.
