turning the status bit ignore (s-bit) on or off
You can set how your scanner works with status bits (also called S-Bits), letting you control
how the scanner interprets and displays talk group IDs. The last four bits of a Motorola
Type II talk group ID (a binary 16-bit code) are the status bits. In some systems, status bits
identify special situations (such as an emergency status).
Your scanner is preset to assume that the status bits in a talk group ID are set to 0 and
ignores them(s-bit feature: Ignore). For example, when the scanner receives the talk group
ID 010111001110 0011, it reads the ID as 010111001110 0000 and converts the first 12
bits of the ID to 23776 (the talk group ID). However, since the status bit value is 3 (0011
converted to decimal equals 3), the ID is actually 23779. If you are scanning a Motorola
Type I system and do not have a fleet map for that system, you might have to turn off status
bit ignore in order to determine the proper fleet map.
Important:
If you are scanning any system other than a Motorola Type I system, be sure
status bit ignore is set to
YES
or you will miss some transmissions.
Follow these steps to turn status bit ignore yes or ignore.

your scanning will become far more flexible and efficient.
