ID Scan Hold Feature

If you want to stop on a ID during ID
scanning, press HOLD/MAN.

If you want to resume scanning, press
RSM.

To directly access a specific channel:

There are several ways to access a
specific ID quickly.

1. Press HOLD/MAN.

2. By using the keypad or rotating the

VFO, enter the ID location number
(See page 51).

3. Press HOLD/MAN again.

Trunked Search

Once you have programmed all the frequencies for a trunked
system, Search will let you immediately start hearing
transmissions.

Press SCAN, and select the bank(s) you wish to receive, just
as you select banks in conventional scanning and ID
scanning.

Hint:

Press and hold RSM for 2 seconds, the scanner will
move to the next trunking bank.

Talkgroups display differently in Motorola, EDACS and LTR
systems. You should read the appropriate parts of this guide
to understand the formats.

The display indicates the bank and the type of trunked system
you are monitoring. You can change this to display a bank tag
by using the System Option menu.

Regardless of the system, you won't know exactly who you
are receiving until you listen for a while, or refer to frequency
guides or internet sites such as www.bearcat1.com.
Of course, figuring out who each ID represents is half the fun
of TrunkTracking.

Later, when you learn more about a system, you will want to
store lists of talkgroups. Then you can scan specific agencies
and users, and use the many other features your radio
provides.
