Uniden UBCD396XT Trunked system options, ID Scan/Search, Priority ID Scan, Emergency Alert

UBCD396XT

Select the number of milliseconds (after the start of a transmission) the scanner should wait while checking for P25 data. Choose a number from 0 through 1000 ms in 100 ms increments. The scanner only applies the wait time setting to Conventional or Motorola (non P25) systems, and only when the channel's Audio Mode setting is All.

Trunked system options

The following options are available when you're editing a trunked system:

ID Scan/Search

Choose whether the scanner only checks the Talk Group IDs that you program ( ID Scan ) or checks all the Talk Group IDs it can find ( ID Search ) when scanning this site.

Priority ID Scan

Choose On to have the scanner check any priority-labeled channels in this system during Priority ID Scan mode. Choose Off if you want the scanner to ignore this system when scanning priority channels.

Emergency Alert

This menu lets you configure whether the scanner triggers an alert tone and light when it detects an emergency flag within an active Talk Group. (Compare this to the channel setting Set Alert, which can trigger an alert tone and light whenever a channel becomes active.) The settings for Set Alert Tone and Set Alert Light are common to both types of alerts.

Set ID Format (DEC/HEX) or (AFS/DEC)

Trunked systems have three different formats for the Talk Group ID, but not all formats are used by each system type. Choose the Talk Group ID format used by this system:

∙Dec : The system uses a decimal (base 10) format for the Talk Group IDs (available for all trunked systems)

∙Hex : The system uses a hexadecimal (base 16) format for the Talk Group IDs (available for P25 and Motorola systems only)

∙AFS : The system uses the Agency-Fleet-Subfleet format for the Talk Group IDs (available for EDACS wide or narrow systems only)
