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 BC 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 EDACS ® operation within

the scanner.) Then use

to change the

setting (on to off) and press

to program your change.
