ID Search Hold and Direct Entry ID Hold Mode
Just like in Conventional Search, Hold lets you pause ID
Search on an interesting transmission without storing the
talkgroup into memory.
If you hear an interesting ID during Search mode, and want to
continue listening to it --
Press HOLD/MAN to stop the search.
If you want to listen to a specific ID, while in Hold mode --
Use the keypad to enter the ID you want and press
SCAN, RSM or SEARCH

used for EDACS).
If you want to resume searching --
Press RSM to return to Search
mode.
Note: ID Hold feature is also applied to ID Scan mode.

To Lockout an ID, press L/O when the
ID you want to lockout displays.
The ID is locked out. You can
Lockout up to 200 IDs.
Note: If you Lockout an ID in Search mode, it is also locked
