Priority Talk Group Id Scanning; Scanning Type I And Hybrid Trunked Systems - Radio Shack PRO-94 Owner's Manual

Priority Talk Group ID Scanning

You can assign a priority to a favorite ID so during
scanning the scanner checks that ID more frequently
than the others in the list. Each of the five memory loca-
tions reserved for storing lists (see "Using Talk Group
ID Lists" on Page 52) can have only one priority ID, and
the ID assigned that priority in List 1 has the highest pri-
ority of all.
To assign a priority to an ID, press . Enter the de-
PROG
sired ID number (list number and location number),
then press . P appears.
PRIORITY (H/S)
To turn priority ID scanning on or off, repeatedly press
during ID scanning or manual operation.
PRIORITY (H/S)
PRI
appears when priority scanning is turned on.
Note: Priority ID scanning does not operate when prior-
ity IDs are locked out. See "Locking Out Talk Group
IDs" on Page 50.
SCANNING TYPE I AND HYBRID
TRUNKED SYSTEMS
Your PRO-94 is preset to scan Type II system IDs.
When you scan trunked frequencies, each Type II user
ID you see appears as an even number without a dash
(example 2160). Your PRO-94 can also scan Type I
trunked systems. Each Type I ID appears as a three- or
four-digit number, followed by a hyphen, followed by a
one- or two-digit number (example 200-14).
If you notice a mix of odd- and even-user IDs (exam-
ples 6477, 2160, 6481, 6144, and 1167), then you are
probably monitoring either a Type I or hybrid (a combi-
nation of Type I and Type II user IDs) system with the
S-Bit function turned off (see "Types of Trunking Sys-
tems" on Page 41 and "Turning the Status Bit Ignore
(S-bit) On or Off" on Page 47).
