10:EDACS ID FORM (EDCS)

You can change to display the talkgroups in decimal mode, but this mode does not provide you with nearly the flexibility that you get with AFS. The UBC780XLT defaults to show the talkgroup number in AFS mode (Agency-Fleet-Subfleet). For details on AFS see pages 46.

11:END CODE (MOTOROLA)

When this function is disabled, the radio looks for squelch before returning to the control channel instead of waiting for the disconnect tone. Only in rare instances will you need to adjust the default settings.

The condition to return to control channels depends on whether signal is present or not.

12:CONTROL CH ONLY (MOTOROLA 800 & 900 SYSTEMS)

With this mode you will be able to track Motorola Type I and II 800 and 900 MHz trunked systems by simply entering the control channel which manages the trunked system. You will not have to program the voice channels. There are 4 channel plans which you can select from.
