OPEN AND CLOSED MODES

When set to the open mode, the scanner
stops on any ID code and only uses the ID
list to look up ID text tags.
When set to the closed mode, the scanner
stops only on signals that have an ID code
which is found in the ID list for the bank.

any transmission opens squelch, regardless

useful when you want to narrow the scan in
areas where numerous entities utilize the
same trunking system. For example, if the
police department, sheriff's department, fire
department and EMS all use the same sys-

banks. Then by manually storing their re-
spective group IDs into corresponding banks
(i.e. police IDs in bank 1, sheriff's IDs in bank
2, fire rescue IDs on bank 3, and EMS IDs on
bank 4) and setting the banks to the closed
mode, you can choose which service you
want to listen to. (See "Turning Channel-
Storage Banks Off and On" on Page 25.)
