8:RECORD
You can flag any channel for recording using this menu function. Use your own recording device plugged into the jack on the back of the scanner.
2:TRUNK
Choose the Trunk bank. The following options are available for the selected trunk bank only. Repeat using a different trunk bank, if necessary.
1:TRUNK TYPE
You will need to assign the correct trunking type for the bank you are about to program. If you want to listen to a Motorola Type I system, you will need to use this Menu option to assign the same. If you do not know the type of trunking system you are about to monitor, refer to the guide included with the scanner or check out www.bearcat1.com.
Note: Some trunking systems require that you know the channel order. In these cases you will also need to start programming the trunked system at the start of the bank. The scanner defaults to the most common type of trunking system, Motorola Type II 800.
2:TRUNK CHANNEL
1:FREQUENCY
To use Trunk Tracking, you need to program a frequency for at least one channel. Also you can enter an alpha tag for each channel in this Menu.
2:STEPS
You can assign a variety of step sizes to the channel.
3:TALK GROUP
You can program IDs into the Scan List memory either during Trunk Scan or Search without going into the Menu. However, you can also use the Menu to program IDs. This is particularly helpful when you are not near the trunked system you wish to later monitor. You can set it up and have it ready to go at some later time. After you have selected the Scan List location
1.Program ID number
2.Set an alpha tag
3.Set Record to ON/OFF.
4.Assign a Beep Alert to the ID. Whenever that ID is active, you will hear three beeps at the start of the transmission.
4:DELAY
You can set delay for a trunk system on a bank by bank basis. If you've set delay for 1 second, then there will be a 1 second delay in Trunk Search for that bank and a 1 second delay for all the talkgroups you have programmed into Scan List memory. You cannot set delay individually by talkgroup. The default delay is 2 seconds.
5:RECORD
This Record option applies to Trunk Search. All talkgroups received during Trunk Search will be recordable through the TAPE OUT jack on the back of the scanner. To record individual talkgroups during Scan, see Item 5 on the next page. The default is off.
