Uniden BC296D manual Setting Trunking Delay, Using I-Call Motorola and Edacs only

•The frequencies for many of the trunked public safety sys- tems are listed in the TrunkTracker National Public Safety Trunked System Frequency Guide included with your BC296D scanner. Frequencies sometimes change, check with scanner.uniden.com for the latest information.

Setting Trunking Delay

Setting a delay for trunking systems helps to ensure that you do not miss replies while scanning.

2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank

→4:DELAY

1:ON

The scanner pauses on a talkgroup for 2 seconds at the end of each transmission to help ensure you don’t miss replies.

2:OFF

Delay is turned off.

Using I-Call (Motorola and EDACS only)

I-Calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not heard by other users. Your BC296D can monitor these transmissions in either the search mode or (if you have stored the unit number as a talkgroup) in the scan mode.

When the scanner stops on an I-Call, the scanner displays the individual radio unit ID instead of a talkgroup ID.

EDACS or Motorola Type 1	i nnnnn
Motorola Type 2	7 nnnnn

Note: • Each radio in a system has its own unique unit ID. Unit ID’s are not published for systems, and since officers might not use the same radio every day, it is difficult to predict who and what you will hear for a specific radio ID.

•Since a conversation consists of two or more radios, and each radio has its own ID, if you hold on an I-Call, you will only hear one side of the conversation.

Turning I-Call On and Off for ID Search

2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank

→8:I-CALL

1:ON

The scanner will stop on I-Calls or normal talkgroups.

2:OFF

The scanner ignores I-Calls.
