Note: To review the bank currently in use, press

DATA

while in the trunk tracking mode. The bar for

the selected bank flashes at the top of the display
for about 5 seconds.

3. To return to non-trunked scanning, press

TRUNK

again.

Hint: While scanning, you will not know exactly who the
ID's are assigned to until you listen awhile or until you lo-
cate ID lists in frequency guides or on internet sites such
as

www.trunkscanner.com

. Within a few minutes, you

can usually figure out if what you are listening to is a po-
lice, fire, or emergency medical 2-way radio user. Other
IDs might take some time, but determining who each ID
represents is half the fun of trunk tracking!

the scanner on that transmission.

1. Press

HOLD

appears, the scanner stays on

keys to enter the ID you want to hold.

3. Press

HOLD

again.

HOLD

flashes and the scanner

monitors that ID.

4. When you want to stop the hold and resume search-

ing for a data channel so you can continue trunk
tracking, press

SRCH

.

Note: You can also follow these steps to hold on an ID
while scanning a scan list. See “Scan Lists” on Page 41.
