Note: To review the bank currently in use, press DATA while in the trunk tracking mode. The bar for the selected bank flashes at the top of the display for about 5 seconds.

3.To return to non-trunked scanning, press TRUNK again.

Hint: While scanning, you will not know exactly who the ID's are assigned to until you listen awhile or until you lo- cate ID lists in frequency guides or on internet sites such as www.trunkscanner.com. Within a few minutes, you can usually figure out if what you are listening to is a po- lice, fire, or emergency medical 2-way radio user. Other IDs might take some time, but determining who each ID represents is half the fun of trunk tracking!

Monitoring an Active ID

When the scanner stops on a transmission, you can hold the scanner on that transmission.

1.Press HOLD. HOLD appears, the scanner stays on the current ID, and the channel number changes.

2.If you want to listen to a different ID, use the number keys to enter the ID you want to hold.

3.Press HOLD again. HOLD flashes and the scanner monitors that ID.

4.When you want to stop the hold and resume search- ing for a data channel so you can continue trunk tracking, press SRCH.

Note: You can also follow these steps to hold on an ID while scanning a scan list. See “Scan Lists” on Page 41.
