Trunking Operations
You can enter partial group numbers for EDACS talk groups. By
entering only the desired portion of a group, you can select either
128, 8, or 1 talk group. For example, you might program every talk
group in a police department by pressing just four keys.
You cannot use partial talk groups in decimal mode.
To enter a partial EDACS ID:
1. Enter the agency number.
2. (Optional) To program all the talk group numbers for one fl eet
of an agency, enter the fl eet number.
3. Press E/PGM.
Status Bit (S-Bit) Ignore
Some systems use status bits to identify special situations. For
Motorola Type II systems, the last four bits of a talk group ID are the
status bits. Your scanner is preset to ignore status bits, but you can
set the scanner to interpret status bits.
Important: For Motorola Type I systems, you might have
to turn off status bit ignore to determine the proper fl eet
map. For other systems, turn on the status bit ignore or
you will miss some transmissions.
To set the status bit ignore feature, complete the following steps:
1. Set the scanner to conventional programming mode and then
press TRUNK.
2. Select the bank.
3. Press or to select the system type (Motorola), then press
E/PGM.
4. Press or to select S-bit, then press E/PGM.
5. Press or to select ON or OFF, then press E/PGM.
