Searching Tips
ID Delay Mode
Use the
DELAY
key to select the delay mode if it’s not active. This mode holds an ID for 2
seconds while you wait for a reply. In a trunked system, you can set a delay for each bank.
Other groups might use the system, but your scanner will only look for the ID in the display.
Note
: If you consistently miss responses while in ID delay mode, you might need to
change the default system type or change the fleet map you are using.
ID Hold Mode
Press
HOLD
U
to hold on a particular ID in the display. This is where the trunk tracking
effect is really noticeable. You can hold a specific talk group, such as fire department on-
scene operations, no matter which frequency the group uses.
