I-Call (Motorola/EDACS)

I-Calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not heard by other system users. Your UBC780XLT can receive these transmissions. How you receive I-Calls depends on whether you are in Search or Scan mode.

During I-Call reception the display will show the Unit ID number of either the transmitting or receiving mobile unit, not a talkgroup. Unit IDs will display differently according to the type of trunked system, and will replace the 'n's shown here.

EDACS and MOTOROLA TYPE 1	innnnn
MOTOROLA TYPE 2	7nnnnnn

Hint -- There are thousands of Unit IDs in typical systems, but relatively few I-Calls at a given moment, so it is normally best to let the scanner to receive any I-Call without trying to specify particular units.

I-CALLS IN SEARCH MODE

In SEARCH mode, the scanner default is that I-Call reception is OFF. This means that I-Calls will not be received until you program them to be ON. You have three choices for controlling I-Call reception. Through the Menu system, go to TRUNK DATA / BANK NO / I-CALL , and make your selection. The menu choices are:

		I-CALLs	TALKGROUPS
1	OFF	Not received	Received normally	This is the UBC780XLT default
2	ON	YES	Received normally	Use this choice to receive I-Calls
				together with normal
				talkgroup traffic.
3	ONLY	YES	NOT RECEIVED	Use this setting to listen to
				I-Calls, and block all talkgroup
				reception. For quick access to
				this mode, press	then SRCH.

In I-Call ONLY mode, the display will show I-CALL, to warn that only I-Calls will be received.

You can HOLD any I-Call ID. Because you can only hold on one ID, and there are two IDs involved in any I-Call communication (the transmitting and the receiving units), you might not hear the full conversation, but you probably will.

☞In SEARCH mode, when you hear an interesting I-Call, you can enter the instant

shortcut then SRCH to enter I-Call ONLY mode. This blocks all talkgroup traffic and lets you hear just the I-Call. To return to normal reception, you must use the Menu system to select the ON or OFF option.

Note: When storing I-Call IDs, remember that the ID will be for only one of the units -- either the transmitting or receiving unit. Unless you specifically want to receive a certain ID, it might be better to use the special code in the HINT below.
