6:ID LIST TAG
Assign an alphanumeric tag to any or all of the 10 Scan Lists for the system.
During ID Scan Mode, you will see the ID List Tag (on the bottom text line)
along with any alpha tag you may have set for an ID. In Search mode, you
will see any Bank Tag you have set.
7:L/O ID REVIEW
Use this menu item to review the IDs that you have locked out during
Search and Scan. Rotate the VFO up or down to view the IDs that have
been locked out. To leave the lockout IDs unchanged, press MENU to back
out of the menu. To unlock an ID, press the L/O key. To unlock all the IDs
that have been locked out, press and hold the L/O key for about 2 seconds.
8: ACTIVITY ID
When activity ID is set to ON, your scanner receives any transmissions on
the ID every 0.5 seconds while scanning.
9:I-CALL (MOTOROLA/EDACS)
Most communications within a trunked system are group calls where one
unit (such as a dispatcher) communicates with all the units within his/her
group (all the patrol vehicles on the east side of town, for example). The
units within this group comprise what is typically known as a talkgroup.
There are some communications which are direct unit-to-unit conversations
where one individual converses with another individual. The call is initiated
by a radio and is directed to another single radio. Within the system, no one
outside of these two users hears the conversation. Your BC785D defaults to
I-CALL OFF mode. You can hear these conversations by using this Menu
item to turn the I-CALL function to ON. In Search mode, with I-CALL ON,
you will hear both talkgroup calls and I-CALLs. You can also set I-CALLs to
I-CALL ONLY during which you will monitor only I-CALLs in Search mode.
You can also program I-CALL IDs into Scan List memory.
OR
9:ID SCAN LIST (LTR)
When scanning an LTR system you can only turn Scan Lists OFF and ON
when an LTR talk group that you have entered into memory is active. To
provide you with another method to turn Scan Lists ON and OFF, you can
use this Menu item which only appears when you have selected LTR in
Trunk Type.
OR
0:EMERGENCY ALT (EDACS)
In EDACS trunked systems, you can set an alert for an EDASC
transmission received. Set Emergency Alert to ON, EMERGENCY flashes
on the display and you will hear beep alerts when you receive an EDASC
emergency transmission.
