Uniden UBC780XLT manual 5PROGRAM ID

5:PROGRAM ID

You can program IDs into 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 (1-10) and the memory location (1-10), you can then do the following:

1Program the talkgroup or I-CALL ID number

2Set an alpha tag for same

3Assign the Record option for same. Whenever a transmission is active on the ID the signal can be recorded to a tape recorder using the TAPE OUT

jack on the back of the radio.

4.Assign a Beep Alert to the ID. Whenever that ID is active, you will hear a rapid three beep tone at the start of the transmission.

6:ID LIST TAG

Assign an alphanumeric tag to any or all of the 10 Scan Lists for the system. During Scan Mode, you will see the List Tag (on the bottom text line) along with any alpha tag you may have set for an ID. In Search mode, you will see any Bank Tag you have set.

7:I-CALL(MOTOROLA AND EDCS)

Most communications within a trunked system are group calls where one unit (such as a dispatcher) communicates with all the units within his/her group (all the patrol vehicles on the east side of town, for example). The units within this group comprise what is typically known as a talkgroup. There are some communications which are direct unit-to-unit conversations where one individual converses with another individual. The call is initiated by a radio and is directed to another single radio. Within the system, no one outside of these two users hears the conversation. Your UBC780XLT defaults to I-CALL OFF mode. You can hear these conversations by using this Menu item to turn the I-CALL function to ON. In Search mode, with I-CALL on, you will hear both talkgroup calls and I-CALLs. You can also set I- CALLs to I-CALL ONLY during which you will monitor only I-CALLs in Search mode. You can also program I-CALL IDs into Scan List memory.

8:ID SCAN LIST (LT)

When scanning an LT system you can only turn Scan Lists off and on when an LT talkgroup that you have entered into memory is active. To provide you with another method to turn Scan Lists on and off, you can use this Menu item which only appears when you have selected LT in Trunk Type.

9:STATUS BIT (MOTOROLA)

On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which specialised types of communications utilise unique talkgroup numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique talkgroup from its primary assignment, for example. Because the UBC780XLT defaults to Status-Bit On mode, you never need to worry about missing these transmissions. If you've programmed talkgroup 33264 into Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency call within the group, you will hear it on 33264.
