Using I-Call (Motorola and EDACS only)

I-Calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not heard by other users. Your BC796D can monitor these transmissions in either the search mode or (if you have stored the unit number as a talkgroup) in the scan mode.

When the scanner stops on an I-Call, the scanner displays the individual radio unit ID instead of a talkgroup ID.

EDACS or Motorola Type 1	i nnnnn
Motorola Type 2	7 nnnnn

Note: • Each radio in a system has its own unique unit ID. Unit ID’s are not published for systems, and since officers might not use the same radio every day, it is difficult to predict who and what you will hear for a specific radio ID.

•Since a conversation consists of two or more radios, and each radio has its own ID, if you hold on an I-Call, you will only hear one side of the conversation.

Turning I-Call On and Off for ID Search
