Receiving Trunked Systems

When you have properly programmed all the frequencies for a trunked system, you can monitor the system in several different ways. You will find that Search, Hold, Lockout, Scan and Delay are all similar to conventional scanning.

ID SCAN lets you receive those talkgroups that you store in Scan Lists.

ID SCAN HOLD lets you selectively listen to a talkgroup in your Scan Lists.

ID SEARCH lets you hear all system talkgroup activity. This is the best way to get started.

ID SEARCH HOLD works with Search mode to let you quickly freeze reception on an interesting transmission. Or you can manually specify a talkgroup with DIRECT ENTRY in ID HOLD.

ID LOCKOUT works with Search and Scan to exclude talkgroups that you don't want to hear.

ID DELAY works with each talkgroup to be delayed when the communication ends.

When receiving EDACS systems, remember that Uniden's AFS talkgroups give you powerful flexibility. In a few key presses, you can specify a single talkgroup, a fleet, or an entire agency in all the above modes. Read the section "EDACS Reception" to understand how this works.

Hint: If the scanner is not in the Trunking mode, you can enter the Trunk mode by pressing TRUNK. Pressing TRUNK in the Trunking mode will move to the Private Scan Hold mode.

ID Scan Mode

1.When in the Trunking mode, press PVT/HWY to begin scanning the lists you have programmed.

If you haven't programmed any IDs, the scanner cannot stop on an active conversation.

2.To remove a Scan List from active scanning, press the number of the Scan List on your keypad.

The Scan List indicator turns Off, and the IDs in that list are not scanned.
