Setting the Delay Mode for Trunking Mode

Trunking Frequency Confirmation

Setting Priority in Trunking Mode

Moving between Scan List Memories

A default delay of 2 seconds is automatically set for each talkgroup for ID Scan mode and ID

Search mode. To set the delay feature on or off, press

while trunking,

will

appear or disappear depending on your setting.

You can check the frequency while a talkgroup ID is active.

Press the

key ,and the active frequency on which the talk group is transmitting will flash

on the display. Or press and hold the

key for 2 seconds, the ID and the frequency

alternately appears on the display. To cancel this mode, press the key again.

This feature is applied to ID Scan mode and ID Search mode.

You can set priority in your Scan lists, just as you do in your conventional ones. Default

setting for the Priority ID is the first location in each Scan List. You can set the priority by

pressing and holding

for 2 seconds in ID Scan Hold mode. After you’ve set up your

Scan List, press

to activate it.

It’s very similar to conventional priority although there is no "interrupt" during the

transmissions. Priorities are checked in between transmissions.

With Priority ON, you can hold on an ID in your Scan List, such as Scan List 3, memory

location 7, and the scanner will check all the priorities in all the active Scan Lists in between

any transmissions on the ID on which you’re holding. The lowest numbered priority will be

checked first. For example, the Priority ID in List 1 will be checked before the Priority in List

2, etc.

•This function does not work in LTR tracking.

• Priority Scan does not operate when Priority IDs are locked out.

There are a number of ways to step and move through your Scan List memories:

1. Press

in the ID Scan mode and use the

key to move to up or

down.

2. Or, press

in the ID Scan mode, next press

(scan list number), then

press

(memory position). For example to move to Scan List 4, memory position 10,

press:
