talk group IDs

There are 10 talk group ID banks and each ID bank has 5 sub- banks. Each sub-bank has 30 ID locations. You can program up to 150 talk group IDs in each bank, so you can program up to 1,500 talk group IDs in 10 banks. When the scanner stops on a transmission in the Motorola, EDACS, or LTR mode, it checks to see if the ID has been stored. In the closed mode, the scanner only stops on the transmission and displays its text tag if you have stored and not locked out the ID. In the open mode, the scanner always stops on a transmission, but it displays the ID’s text tag if you have stored the ID.

If the ID has already been stored when you press TRUNK, ID was saved appears.
