Toggling the Status Bit

On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which specialized types of communications utilize unique talk group numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique talk group from its primary assignment, for example. Because the UBC 245XLT defaults to Status-Bit On mode, you never need to worry about missing these transmissions. If you’ve programmed talk group 33264 into Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency call within the group, you will hear it on 33264. The only time you may wish to turn Status Bits off is if you’re trying to figure out the proper fleet map of a Type 1 trunking

system. To turn Status Bits off, press and hold for two seconds while in the Motorola system you wish to adjust. (This feature does not apply to EDACSÆoperation within

the scanner.) Then use or to change the

setting (on to off) and press to program your change.
