STEP 2 is complete.STEP 3: Programming ID Scan Lists ManuallyScan Lists

Each bank of your BC785D can be a trunk tracking bank and it can be a conventional scanning bank. When you designate a bank as a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply lists used to store your favorite Talk Group IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of 100 IDs for each trunk tracking bank. (1000 if you use all the banks as trunking banks!)

Scan Lists help you organize the trunking system users into categories. For example, you might use List#1 for police IDs, List#2 for fire department IDs, List#3 for emergency medical service IDs, etc. Once IDs are stored in lists, you can scan them like you scan conventional frequencies and you can lockout any one (up to 9) of the 10 scan lists by pressing the corresponding numeric key. When an ID is active, the scan list number will appear on the display. You can program your Scan Lists either manually or during Trunking Search mode.

Check the web site www.bearcat1.com/free.htm for a complete list of talkgroups for your area that you can program into your Scan Lists.

In order to program Talk Group ID’s, you must first complete Step1–“Selecting or Changing Trunking System Type”, page 46 and Step 2 – “Programming Trunked Frequencies”, page 47.
