Locking Out Talk Group IDs
Many municipal and commercial services use trunk systems to transmit signals from such devices as water
meter transmitters, door alarms, and traffic signals. Some signals are encrypted, as well, and most are not voice
signals. Since all these are assigned IDs just like other users, you may want to lock out reception of these
