Using Trunk Scanning Scan Delay
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. You can set the scanner
to hold on an ID for 2 seconds to wait for a reply. That way, the scanner continues to monitor
the ID for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning.
Press ・/CLR /DELAY to turn trunk scanning scan delay on or off.

Note: If you consistently miss responses even with scan delay turned on, change the default
system type or the fleet map being used. See "Scanning Type I and Hybrid
Trunked Systems" on Page XX.
Monitoring Talk Group IDs
You can use your scanner's display to monitor the frequencies/talk group IDs
of a trunked system for activity. While you cannot hear conversations in this mode, it is
an excellent way to determine which talk group IDs are the most active. To set the scanner
to monitor IDs, hold down
All active group IDs appear in quick succession.

Note: When you monitor IDs, any IDs you have locked out also appear.

USING TALK GROUP ID LISTS

When you program trunked frequencies into a bank (see "Storing Trunked Frequencies"
on Page XX), your scanner sets up ten scan lists for that one bank in which you
can store your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, for a total of 100 IDs
for each trunk scanning bank. If you use all the banks as trunking banks, you can store 1000 IDs.
Talk group ID lists help you to organize trunking system users into categories. For example,
you might use List 1 for police IDs, List 2 for fire department IDs, List 3 for
emergency medical service IDs, and so on. Once you store all the IDs in a list, you can scan them
just as you scan conventional channels. You can program IDs into
talk group ID lists manually, during a search, or automatically.
