ID Lockout
Like conventional scanning, it’s possible to lockout unwanted traffic. This is particularly important in
trunked systems because in many areas water meters, door alarms, traffic signals, and other
mechanical devices are assigned IDs just like other users. Also some departments scramble or
encrypt their communications, and you may want to lock out these unintelligible broadcasts.
To lockout an ID, press
L
when the
ID displays.
The ID is locked out, and the next active
ID displays. You can lockout up to 100
IDs.
Note:
If you lockout an ID in Search mode, it is also locked out in Scan List mode. Conversely, if
you lockout an ID while in Scan List mode, it is locked out in Search mode. For
information about Scan Lists, see page 45.
Restoring a Single ID
To unlock a single ID, follow these steps:
1.
Press and hold
L
until you hear two
short beeps.
2.
Use either the Rotary Tuner or the
h
or
i
to select the ID you want to
unlock.
3.
Press
L
.
The ID is unlocked and the next locked ID
displays.
4.
Press
S
to return to the Search mode.
