state of the sub-bank will appear in the scanner’s display.

To turn the ID sub-bank on or off during the scan mode:

1. The channel storage bank must be set to Closed Mode to 

change the state of a sub-bank while scanning.

2. Press

open and closed mode operation

You can set your scanner to change the way it receives 
transmissions on Motorola, APCO-25 and EDACS trunked 
radio systems. These settings, called Open Mode and Closed 
Mode, control whether the scanner monitors all traffi c from 
a trunked radio system, or only traffi c from talkgroups you 
specify. Unlike the channel mode settings described above, 
Open/Close mode settings apply to a trunking system 
programmed into a single bank.

In Open Mode, you hear all active talkgroups except those 
you specifi cally exclude, making it easy to hear everything 
going on. In Closed Mode, you hear only those talkgroups 
you specify. This makes it easy to listen only to talkgroups 
you are interested in and exclude others.

Each scanner bank can be programmed with one trunked 
system. You can set each of the scanner’s channel storage 
banks to Open or Closed Mode.

Conventional modes (AM, FM/Digital, CT and DC) are not 
affected by the Open/Closed Mode setting of a bank.

When you set a channel storage bank to Open Mode, +
