Talk Group ID – A simultaneous trunking transmission that identifies 2-way radio users. This allows trunking systems to allocate a few frequencies to multiple 2-way radio users.

Sub-bank– Each bank has an associated Talk Group ID sub-bank. In Closed mode, the scanner only stops if a transmission has a Talk Group ID saved in the associated Talk Group ID sub-bank. In Open Mode, the scanner stops on all transmissions, except those you lock out.

Note: All scanners tune by steps. Your RadioShack scanner uses steps consistent with the latest US or worldwide standards. If you enter a non-valid step frequency, any scanner will tune to the next step. Some scanner designs do this without showing the correct step in the display. This scanner will show the actual tuned frequency in the display. Because steps are so close together, the audio quality will not be affected by the offset.
