Locking Out Talk Group IDs
Many municipal and commercial services use trunk sys-
tems to transmit signals from such devices as water
meter transmitters, door alarms, and traffic signals.
Some signals are encrypted, as well, and most are not
voice signals. Since all these are assigned IDs just like
other users, you may want to lock out reception of these
ID signals. You can lock out up to 100 IDs at one time.
Note: If you lock out an ID while searching, it is also
locked out of the scan list(s). See “Using Talk Group ID
Lists” on Page 48.
