missing frequencies from the system.
You can set up to three base, spacing and offsets for
Motorola VHF/UHF trunked systems.
toggling the status bit
On Type II trunking systems, there is a method by which
specialized types of communications use unique talk group
numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique talk
group from its primary assignment, for example. Because
the scanner defaults to status-bit on mode, you never need
to worry about missing these transmissions. If you have
programmed talk group 33264 into scan list memory, for
example, and there is an emergency call within that group,
you will hear it on 33264.
The only time you may wish to turn status bits off is if you’re
trying to fi gure out the proper fl eet map of a Type I trunking
system.
1. Select the trunking programming mode and the bank you
want to change.

press E.
3. Press

to select S-bit, then press E.
4. Press

or

to select Sbt ON or Sbt OFF, then press E.
The scanner returns to status bit list item.
