Talk Group IDs
There are 10 talk group ID banks and each ID bank has 5 sub-banks. Each
sub-bank has 30 ID locations. You can program up to 150 talk group IDs in
each bank, so you can program up to 1,500 talk group IDs in 10 banks. When
the scanner stops on a transmission in the Motorola, EDACS, or LTR mode, it
checks to see if the ID has been stored. In the closed mode, the scanner only
stops on the transmission and displays its text tag if you have stored and not
locked out the ID. In the open mode, the scanner always stops on a transmis-
sion, but it displays the ID’s text tag if you have stored the ID.
