Multi-Track Operational Details

When more than one trunk system is active (for example two
or more trunked systems or a trunked system and one or
more conventional frequencies), the radio jumps between
systems/frequencies as follows:
TRUNK SCAN: The scanner moves to a trunked system
and looks for IDs in your Scan List(s) for up to 1 second.
If it finds no activity on your programmed talkgroups, it
moves on to conventional channels in the same bank or to
the next active bank.
If the scanner finds that a talkgroup in one of your active
Scan Lists becomes active, you will begin to hear that
communication and the scanner will display the proper
talkgroup number and any alpha tag. When the
communication ends, the scanner will wait for 2 seconds
for any further replies and, if none, the scanner will move
to the conventional channels in the same bank or to the
next bank. The scanner will not look for any other IDs
within the same trunked system (as this would slow the
scan process). If you press RSM while you are listening to
one ID, the scanner will check to see if another ID in your
Scan List is active. It will disregard the ID to which you
were just monitoring.
TRUNK SEARCH: This mode works similarly to Trunk
Scan. If the scanner finds any (non-locked-out) ID when
it checks the control channel, you will hear it. You will then
hear any replies that follow within 2 seconds. After that the
scanner will move on and not continuously search the
system for additional IDs (on busy systems you would never
leave the system if this were the case). If you press the
RSM key while monitoring one ID, the radio will check if any
other IDs are active (it will disregard the ID you just left),
and if none are active, it will move on.
