Uniden BC296D - Manual (Page 52)

• The frequencies for many of the trunked public safety sys-
tems are listed in the TrunkTracker National Public Safety
Trunked System Frequency Guide included with your
BC296D scanner. Frequencies sometimes change, check
with scanner.uniden.com for the latest information.
Setting Trunking Delay
Setting a delay for trunking systems helps to ensure that you
do not miss replies while scanning.
2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank
→ 4:DELAY
1:ON
The scanner pauses on a talkgroup for 2 seconds at
the end of each transmission to help ensure you don’t
miss replies.
2:OFF
Delay is turned off.
Using I-Call (Motorola and EDACS only)
I-Calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not heard
by other users. Your BC296D can monitor these
transmissions in either the search mode or (if you have stored
the unit number as a talkgroup) in the scan mode.
When the scanner stops on an I-Call, the scanner displays the
individual radio unit ID instead of a talkgroup ID.
EDACS or Motorola Type 1 i nnnnn
Motorola Type 2 7 nnnnn
Note: • Each radio in a system has its own unique unit ID.
Unit ID’s are not published for systems, and since
officers might not use the same radio every day, it
is difficult to predict who and what you will hear for
a specific radio ID.
• Since a conversation consists of two or more
radios, and each radio has its own ID, if you hold
on an I-Call, you will only hear one side of the
conversation.
Turning I-Call On and Off for ID Search
2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank
→ 8:I-CALL
1:ON
The scanner will stop on I-Calls or normal talkgroups.
2:OFF
The scanner ignores I-Calls.
