Radio Shack PRO-96 Scanner User Manual

Each scanner bank can be
programmed with one trunked
system. You can set each of the
scanner’s channel storage banks
to Open or Closed Mode.
Conventional modes (AM, FM/
Digital, CT and DC) are not
affected by the Open/Closed
Mode setting of a bank.
When you set a channel storage
bank to Open Mode, + appears
under the bank’s number while
scanning. When you set a channel
storage bank to Closed Mode, -
appears under the channel
storage bank’s number while
scanning.
Traffic on locked out talkgroup IDs
is ignored when the scanner is
operating in Open and Closed
Modes.
In Open Mode, the scanner will
stop on all talkgroup traffic, except
for traffic on talkgroups that are
entered in the ID list and locked
out. In Closed Mode, the scanner
will only stop on talkgroup traffic if
the ID is entered in the ID list and
not locked out.
Open Mode scanning is useful in
cases where you wish to monitor
all traffic on the trunked system,
except for certain talkgroups which
you specify by entering them into
the ID list and locking them out.
Open Mode scanning allows you
to search the trunking system for
new or previously unknown
talkgroup activity while ignoring
traffic on undesired talkgroups.
