Using Trunk Scanning Scan Delay; Monitoring Talk Group Ids - Radio Shack PRO-94 Owner's Manual

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 5 seconds to wait for a reply. That way, the scanner
continues to monitor the ID for 5 seconds after the
transmission stops before resuming scanning.
Press to turn trunk scanning scan delay on or
DELAY
off. DLY appears when the scan delay is set to on.
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 55.

Monitoring Talk Group IDs

You can use your scanner's display to monitor the fre-
quencies/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
SEARCH
down until and the channel num-
MON/CLR (•)
ber flash. All active group IDs appear in quick succes-
sion. To stop monitoring IDs, press again.

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