Toggling the Status Bit
On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which | |||
specialized types of communications utilize unique talk | |||
group numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique | |||
talk group from its primary assignment, for example. | |||
Because the BC 245XLT defaults to | |||
you never need to worry about missing these |
| ||
transmissions. If you’ve programmed talk group 33264 into | |||
Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency | |||
call within the group, you will hear it on 33264. The only | |||
time you may wish to turn Status Bits off is if you’re trying | |||
to figure out the proper fleet map of a Type 1 trunking | |||
system. To turn Status Bits off, press and hold | for two | ||
seconds while in the Motorola system you wish to adjust. | |||
(This feature does not apply to EDACSÆoperation within | |||
the scanner.) Then use | or | to change the | |
setting (on to off) and press | to program your change. | ||
