Disabling the APCO25 Card

If you are not in an area where there is an APCO 25 digital system, you can save power by disabling the APCO 25 (P-25) card.

3:SYSTEM OPTION → 0:P-25 CARD

1:ENABLE

The card is enabled

2:DISABLE

The card is disabled

Muting All Audio

To mute all audio, press and hold MUTE for 2 seconds. The scanner operates normally, but no audio sounds from the scanner. To turn audio back on, press and hold MUTE for 2 seconds.

Setting Squelch Mode

You can set the scanner to either stop on any transmission during searching or scanning, or only stop on transmissions that include a specific CTCSS or DCS subaudible tone (see “Understanding Scanning” for information about subaudible tones).

3:SYSTEM OPTION → 8:SQ MODE

1:CSQ

Carrier Squelch mode; the scanner stops on any transmission regardless of whether a subaudible tone is present.

2:TONE SQ

The scanner stops on transmissions that include a matching subaudible tone or have no tone at all. When you select this option, you also need to set the appropriate tone in either the channel memory or for the search range.

3:TONE SEARCH

When the scanner stops on a transmission, it will then scan the subaudible tones to determine the correct setting. When the scanner has found the correct tone, it flashes the tone on the display. If you store that frequency into a channel, the tone is also stored.

Trunk Scanning Options

When you are scanning a trunked system, there are several trunking-only options available to you. This section outlines these options.

Searching for Active Talkgroups (ID Search)

If you want to hear all activity on a system, use the ID Search mode. While scanning a trunking system, press SRCH while scanning that system; or, press and hold TRUNK until the scanner flashes READY TO ID SEARCH. The BC796D stops on every active talkgroup, regardless of whether you have programmed it into your scanner.

Notes: • If you have not yet programmed any ID’s for the system, this is the only mode available.
