Note: To see the bank currently in use for about 5 seconds, press DATA while in the trunk tracking mode.
3.To return to conventional scan- ning, press TRUNK again.
Hint: While scanning, you will not know exactly whom the IDs are as- signed to until you listen awhile or until you locate ID lists in frequency guides or on internet sites such as www.trunkscanner.com. Within a few minutes, you can usually figure out if what you are listening to is a police, fire, or emergency medical

3.Press HOLD again. HOLD flashes and the scanner monitors that ID.
4.When you want to stop the hold and resume searching for a data channel so you can continue trunk tracking, press SEARCH.
Note: You can also follow these steps to hold on an ID while scanning a scan list. See “Scan Lists” on Page 31.
Locking Out IDs
As with conventional scanning, it is possible to lock out unwanted traffic. This is particularly important in trunk- ed systems because signals you can- not listen to (such as water meters, door alarms, traffic signals, and en- crypted 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 31.
