USING TALK GROUP ID LISTS
When you program trunked frequencies into a bank (see
“Storing Trunked Frequencies” on Page 40), your scan-
ner sets up five scan lists for that one bank in which you
can store your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to
10 IDs, for a total of 50 IDs for each trunk scanning
bank. If you use all the banks as trunking banks, you can
store 1000 IDs.
Talk group ID lists help you to organize trunking system
users into categories. For example, you might use List 1
for police IDs, List 2 for fire department IDs, List 3 for
emergency medical service IDs, and so on. Once you
store all the IDs in a list, you can scan them just as you
scan conventional channels. You can program IDs into
talk group ID lists manually, during a search, or automat-
ically.
