Open and Closed Mode

Operation

You can set your scanner to
change the way it receives
transmissions on Motorola,
APCO-25 and EDACS trunked
radio systems. These settings,
called Open Mode and Closed
Mode, control whether the scanner
monitors all traffic from a trunked
radio system, or only traffic from
talkgroups you specify. Unlike the
channel mode settings described
above, Open/Close mode settings
apply to a trunking system
programmed into a single bank.

NOTE

Ô

In Open Mode, you hear
all active talkgroups
except those you
specifically exclude,
making it easy to hear
everything going on. In
Closed Mode, you hear
only those talkgroups
you specify. This makes
it easy to listen only to
talkgroups you are
interested in and exclude
others
