Hint: While scanning, you will not know exactly who the IDs are assigned to until you listen awhile or until you locate 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 lis- tening to is a police, fire, or emergency medical 2-way radio user. Other IDs might take some time, but deter- mining 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 and the scanner stays on the current ID.

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

3.Press HOLD again. HOLD and the channel number flash and the scanner monitors that ID.

4.When you want to stop the hold and resume searching for a data channel so you can continue trunk tracking, press SRC.

Note: You can also follow these steps to hold on an ID while scanning a scan list. See “Scan Lists” on Page 48.

Temporarily Storing an ID into the Monitor ID Memory

1.When your scanner stops on an ID you want to store, press MON/CLEAR. The scanner stores the ID into the monitor ID memory.

2.Press SRC to resume searching.

Note: To program the ID stored in the monitor ID mem- ory into the ID scan list, see “Scan Lists” on Page 48.
