Motorola BC796D - Manual (Page 49)

The scanner will stop on I-Calls or normal talkgroups.
2:OFF
The scanner ignores I-Calls.
3:ONLY
The scanner only stops on I-Calls.
Turning I-Call On for ID Scan
To receive I-Calls for ID Scan, simply store the radio unit number as ( ) plus the unit
number in place of the talkgroup. To receive any I-Call while scanning, enter the I-Call
wildcard (
) 0. For EDACS and Motorola Type 1 systems, this appears as i0; for Motorola
Type 2 systems, this appears as 700000.
Setting Priority Talkgroups (Motorola and EDACS only)
Talkgroup priority works slightly different than conventional priority. With talkgroup priority,
the priority talkgroups are only checked when the scanner is on the control channel. So, if
you have delay turned on for the system or are holding on an ID, the scanner will
immediately switch to the priority talkgroup if it becomes active during the delay or while
there is no transmission on the held talkgroup.
To assign a talkgroup as the priority talkgroup, select it in Scan Hold mode (see “Holding on
a Single Talkgroup”). Then, press and hold PRI for 2 seconds.
Multi-Track
The BC796D 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.
After the scanner finishes checking a trunked system for activity, it will conventionally
scan the other frequencies in the bank (remember, only trunking frequencies are
programmed in Trunk mode).
To scan a mix of trunking and conventional banks, select the banks you wish to be active,
and then press SCAN. The scanner will instantly begin scanning. If you have not
programmed a trunking bank with talkgroup ID’s, you will receive
NO ID (----)
message for that bank.
You can switch to Search mode and the scanner will search for any active ID’s on the
system.
Note: To switch ID Scan or ID Search, press and hold TRUNK or, press SCAN or SRCH
while scanning.
Multi-Track Operational Details
When more than one trunk system is active (for example two or more trunked systems or a
trunked system and one or more conventional frequencies), the radio jumps between
systems/frequencies as follows:
