You can hold any I-Call IDs. Because you can only hold on
one ID, and there are two IDs involved in any I-Call
communication (the transmitting and the receiving units), you
might not hear the full conversation, but you probably will.
☞
In Search mode, when you hear an interesting I-Call,
you can enter the instant shortcut
(decimal key)
then
RSM
to enter I-Call Only mode. This blocks all
talkgroup traffic and lets you hear just the I-Call.
To return to normal reception, you must use the Menu
system to select the
ON
or
OFF
option.
Note
: When storing I-Call IDs, remember that the ID will be
for only one of the units – either the transmitting or
receiving unit. Unless you specifically want to receive a
certain ID, it might be better to use the special code in
the HINT below.
I-CALLS IN SCAN AND HOLD MODE
You can store I-Call IDs in Scan Lists, just like talkgroup IDs,
for use by ID Scan and Scan Hold modes. To program a
specific I-Call Unit ID into a Scan Lists:
EDACS or Motorola Type 1
Press
(decimal key) followed by the Unit ID digits,
then
E
.
Motorola Type 2
Press 7 followed by the Unit ID digits, then E.
HINT
- There is a special code to let you receive all I-Call
IDs with a single Scan Lists entry. Simply press
(decimal key),
0
,
E
. This will store the special code
i0
in an EDACS Scan Lists, or
700000
in a
Motorola Scan Lists or Digital. Then, whenever you
Scan this entry, or select it in Hold mode, the scanner
will receive any active I-Calls, regardless of the Unit
IDs.
Note
: Motorola I-CALL tracking performance may vary
between systems.
Multi-Track
The BC250D allows you to track more than one system at a
time. Here are some highlights of this feature:
❖
You can actually track up to 10 trunking systems at
one time.
❖
You can trunk, scan, or search and scan conventional
frequencies at the same time.
❖
You can program conventional frequencies in the same
bank as trunking systems.
