while in the trunk tracking mode. The bar for
the selected bank flashes at the top of the display
for about 5 seconds.

again.
Hint: While scanning, you will not know exactly who the
ID's are assigned to until you listen awhile or until you lo-
cate ID lists in frequency guides or on internet sites such
as
www.trunkscanner.com. Within a few minutes, you
can usually figure out if what you are listening to is a po-
lice, fire, or emergency medical 2-way radio user. Other
IDs might take some time, but determining who each ID
represents is half the fun of trunk tracking!

while scanning a scan list. See “Scan Lists” on Page 41.
