selected for a trunked system, press HOLD/MAN, and the
radio will seek and acquire the trunked system control
channel.

ID Search Hold and Direct Entry ID Hold Mode

Just like in Conventional Search, Hold lets you pause ID
Search on an interesting transmission without storing the
talkgroup into memory.
If you hear an interesting ID during Search mode, and want to
continue listening to it --
• Press HOLD/MAN to stop the search.
If you want to listen to a specific ID, while in Hold mode --
• Use the keypad to enter the ID you want and press
SCAN, RSM or SEARCH
(SEARCH key can not be
used for EDACS).
If you want to resume searching --
• Press RSM to return to Search
mode.
Note: ID Hold feature is also applied to ID Scan mode.

ID Lockout

Like conventional scanning, it's possible to lockout unwanted
traffic. This is particularly important in trunked systems
because in many areas, water meters, door alarms, traffic
signals, and other mechanical devices are assigned IDs just

encumber their communications, and you
may want to lock out these unintelligible
broadcasts.
To Lockout an ID, press L/O when the
ID you want to lockout displays.
The ID is locked out. You can
Lockout up to 200 IDs.
Note: If you Lockout an ID in Search mode, it is also locked
out in Scan List mode.
Conversely, if you Lockout an ID while in Scan List
mode, it is locked out in Search mode. For information
about Scan Lists see page 51.
EDACS BLOCKOUT is a powerful form of ID LOCKOUT
that can be used only with AFS and EDACS systems. This
feature lets you lockout entire Agencies or Fleets, not just
individual talkgroups. Using ID BLOCKOUT you can, for
example, prevent Search from stopping on any of hundreds of
