Locking Out IDs
As with conventional scanning, it is possible to lock out
unwanted traffic. This is particularly important in trunked
systems because signals you cannot listen to (such as
water meters, door alarms, traffic signals, and encrypted
signals) are assigned IDs just like other users. You can
have up to 100 IDs locked out at one time.
Note: If you lock out an ID while searching, it is also
locked out of the scan list(s). See “Scan Lists” on
Page 41.
To lock out an ID, press
L/O
when the ID appears.
The ID is locked out, and the next active ID appears.
