You can hold any I-Call IDs. Because you can only hold on
one ID, and there are two IDs involved in any I-Call
communication (the transmitting and the receiving units), you
might not hear the full conversation, but you probably will.

☞

In Search mode, when you hear an interesting I-Call,
you can enter the instant shortcut

(decimal key)

then RSM to enter I-Call Only mode. This blocks all
talkgroup traffic and lets you hear just the I-Call.
To return to normal reception, you must use the Menu
system to select the ON or OFF option.

Note: When storing I-Call IDs, remember that the ID will be

for only one of the units – either the transmitting or
receiving unit. Unless you specifically want to receive a
certain ID, it might be better to use the special code in
the HINT below.

I-CALLS IN SCAN AND HOLD MODE

You can store I-Call IDs in Scan Lists, just like talkgroup IDs,
for use by ID Scan and Scan Hold modes. To program a
specific I-Call Unit ID into a Scan Lists:

EDACS or Motorola Type 1

Press

(decimal key) followed by the Unit ID digits,

then E.

Motorola Type 2
Press 7 followed by the Unit ID digits, then E.

HINT - There is a special code to let you receive all I-Call

IDs with a single Scan Lists entry. Simply press
(decimal key), 0, E. This will store the special code
i0 in an EDACS Scan Lists, or 700000 in a
Motorola Scan Lists or Digital. Then, whenever you
Scan this entry, or select it in Hold mode, the scanner
will receive any active I-Calls, regardless of the Unit
IDs.

Note: Motorola I-CALL tracking performance may vary

between systems.

Multi-Track

The BC250D allows you to track more than one system at a
time. Here are some highlights of this feature:

❖

You can actually track up to 10 trunking systems at
one time.

❖

You can trunk, scan, or search and scan conventional
frequencies at the same time.

❖

You can program conventional frequencies in the same
bank as trunking systems.
