Status Bit (S-Bit) Ignore

Some systems use status bits to identify special situations. For Motorola Type II systems, the last four bits of a talk group ID are the status bits. Your scanner is preset to ignore status bits, but you can set the scanner to interpret status bits.

Important: For Motorola Type I systems, you might have NOTE to turn off status bit ignore to determine the proper ﬂeet

map. For other systems, turn on the status bit ignore or you will miss some transmissions.

To set the status bit ignore feature, complete the following steps:

1.Set the scanner to conventional programming mode and then press TRUNK.

2.Select the bank.

3.Press or to select the system type (Motorola), then press E/PGM.
