SCAN LISTS

When you program trunked frequen- cies into a bank (see “Programming Trunked Frequencies” on Page 26), your scanner sets up 5 scan lists into which you can store your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of 50 IDs for each trunk tracking bank (500 IDs if you use all banks as trunking banks!).

Scan lists help you organize trunking system users into categories. For ex- ample, you might use List 1 for police IDs, List 2 for fire department IDs, List 3 for emergency medical service IDs, and so on. Once IDs are stored in lists, you can scan them like you scan conventional channels. You can pro- gram IDs into scan lists manually, dur- ing a search, or automatically.

Manually Storing IDs into Scan Lists

1.Select the trunking bank you want (see “Scanning a Trunked Bank” on Page 27).

2.After the scanner begins trunk tracking, press MANUAL. A scan list number appears at the top of the display, and a bar shows the channel activity.
