using trunk scanning Scan Delay

Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. You can set the scanner
to hold on an ID for 2 seconds to wait for a reply. That way, the scanner continues to
monitor the ID for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning.
Press •/DELAY to turn trunk scanning scan delay on or off. DLY appears when the scan
delay is set to on.
Note: If you consistently miss responses even with scan delay turned on, change the
default system type or the fleet map being used. See "scanning type I and hybrid trunked
systems".

monitoring talk group IDs

If the channel modulation is trunk type in Manual Mode, all active Talk Group IDs begin to
display for each for 500 ms. You won't hear conversations in this mode, but this is an
excellent way to determine which Talk Group IDs are the most active.
Note: When you monitor IDs, any IDs you have locked out also appear.

using talk group ID lists

When you program trunked frequencies into a bank (see "programming trunked
frequencies"), your scanner sets up ten scan lists for that one bank in which you can store
your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, for a total of 100 IDs for each trunk
scanning bank. If you use all the banks as trunking banks, you can store 4000 IDs.
Talk group ID lists help you organize trunking system users into categories. For example,
you might use List 1 for police IDs, List 2 for fire department IDs, List 3 for emergency
medical service IDs, and so on. Once you store all the IDs in a list, you can scan them just
as you scan conventional channels. You can program IDs into talk group ID lists manually,
during a search, or automatically.
