ID+5 Emergency multi­group
ID+6 ?
ID+7 Multi­select (initiated by dispatcher)
Therefore, if a user was transmitting a multi­select call on talkgroup 1808, the scanner would actually receive those transmissions
on 1815. Some common uses of these status bits are as follows:
­When a user hits their emergency button, all conversations on the talkgroup revert to the emergency status talkgroup
(ID+2) until the dispatch clears the emergency status. Therefore, if someone hit their emergency button and their radio was
on talkgroup 16, all communications would switch to talkgroup 18.
­A lot of Fire and EMS departments dispatch tone­outs and alarms as Multi­select communications (ID+7). Therefore, if your
fire department dispatch talkgroup is 1616, and they do dispatch tone­outs and alarms as Multi­selects, then those
communications will be on talkgroup 1623.

Turning On/Off the Motorola Disconnect Tone Detect Function
While trunking a Motorola system, your scanner automatically tunes to the data channel when it detects a disconnect tone (a code
that tells the trunking system that the transmitter has finished sending) on the voice channel. You cannot use the disconnect tone
detect function if you are programming a trunking frequency or a fleet map.
You can manually turn off the function so the scanner does not tune to the data channel under those conditions. You might use this
feature to listen to weak transmissions when conversations are generally disconnected.
To turn the Motorola disconnect tone detect function off, while trunking a Motorola bank, press E(SVC). The scanner beeps and
DATA flashes for about 5 seconds and appears in the display.
To turn the Motorola disconnect tone detect function on, while trunking a Motorola bank, press E(SVC). DATA disappears from the
display.
Note: To set the scanner so it remains on the voice channel (even when a disconnect tone is transmitted or there is no
signal at all) set SQUELCH so you hear a hissing.
Matching IDs with Trunked Frequencies
You can see the trunking frequencies that the IDs are using while trunking.
To see the current trunked frequency using the displayed ID, while trunking, or performing an EDACS ID search, press
frequency flashes twice.
To match all the trunking frequencies with their respective IDs, hold down
frequency alternately appear. On a busy system, this could happen very fast and may be confusing. Turning on the trunking delay
function will give you a better chance of seeing the frequency and ID alternate. See Trunking Delay.
To return to trunking, press
Scan/Search Delay
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. To help missing a reply on a specific channel or frequency, you
can program a 2­second delay into any channel or any search (limit, direct, or service). The scanner continues to monitor the
channel or frequency for an additional 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning or searching when the
delay feature is turned on.
Setting the delay for a trunking frequency has no effect on trunking or IDs. See Trunking Delay.
To turn the delay on or off for a conventional channel:
If the desired channel is not selected, in manual or program mode, select the channel then press DELAY to turn the delay on or off
for the selected channel. DLY will appear or disappear in the display.
If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press DELAY before it continues scanning again. DLY will
appear or disappear in the display when the channel is scanned.
To turn the delay on or off for a search band:
Press DELAY while searching to turn the delay on or off for the band. DLY appears or disappears from the display.
Locking Out Channels
You can keep the scanner scanning by locking out channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.
To lock out a channel, select the channel in manual or program mode then press S/S(L­OUT). L/O appears in the display.
