toggling the status bit
On Type II trunking systems, there is a method by which
specialized types of communications use unique talk group
numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique talk
group from its primary assignment, for example. Because
the scanner defaults to status-bit on mode, you never need
to worry about missing these transmissions. If you have
programmed talk group 33264 into scan list memory, for
example, and there is an emergency call within that group,
you will hear it on 33264.
