For Motorola channels, your scanner displays the Talk Group ID memory location, received frequency, voice channel (VC), and the Motorola ID number.
Your scanner automatically mutes the audio while it decodes control channel data. However, we recommend you turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hiss stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel.
For Motorola trunking systems, more than one talk group can transmit at a time. If you manually tune the scanner, you will hear the talk group on that channel, but the display will alternate between all active Talk Group IDs.
For EDACS and Motorola (above 406 MHz range), the scanner monitors the control channel between each transmission to identify talk groups. For some Motorola (under 512 MHz range) and LTR systems, the scanner uses the subaudible data sent with each transmission to identify talk groups.
Trunking Delay
You can set a Talk Group ID delay separately from the channel delay. When active, the scanner checks the Talk Group ID for the delay time when a transmission ends.
To set a Talk Group ID delay:
1.Press FUNC then ./DELAY while you are programming the Trunk Group ID. “ENTER key saves. 2.0 seconds” appears.
2.Use or to set ID Delay: None, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, or 4.0 seconds.
3.Press ENT.
