departments scramble or encrypt their communications, and you might want to lock out these unintelligible transmissions.

To lock out an ID, press L/O when the ID appears. The ID is locked out, and the next active ID appears. You can lock out up to 200 ID’s.

Note: If you lock out an ID in search mode, it is also locked out in scan list mode. Conversely, if you lock out an ID while in scan list mode, it is locked out in search mode.

2.Hold down L/O for about 2 seconds to unlock all the ID’s at once.

Note: If you unlock all the ID’s, Non appears. Press SCAN to scan the ID’s stored in your scan lists or press SRC to return to the search mode.

Searching Tips

ID Delay Mode

Use the DELAY key to select the delay mode if it’s not active. This mode holds an ID for 2 seconds while you wait for a reply. In a trunked system, you can set a delay for each bank. Other groups might use the system, but your scanner will only look for the ID in the display.

Note: If you consistently miss responses while in ID delay mode, you might need to change the default system type or change the fleet map you are using.

ID Hold Mode

Press HOLD U to hold on a particular ID in the display. This is where the trunk tracking effect is really noticeable. You can hold a specific talk group, such as fire department on- scene operations, no matter which frequency the group uses.
