Moving between Scan List Memories
There are a number of ways to step and move through your
Scan List memories:
1. Press HOLD/MAN in the ID Scan mode and rotate the
VFO to move to up or down.
2. Or, press HOLD/MAN in the ID Scan mode, next press
0-9 (scan list number), then press 0-9 (memory position).
For example to move to Scan List 4, memory position 10,
press: HOLD/MAN, 4, 0, HOLD/MAN
Set Activity ID to ON, when your scanner finds an active ID
during a transmission the active ID appears every 0.5
seconds.
I-Call (Motorola/EDACS)
I-Calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not heard
by other system users. Your BC250D can receive these
transmissions. How you receive I-Calls depends on whether
you are in Search or Scan mode.
During I-Call reception the display will show the Unit ID
number of either the transmitting or receiving mobile unit, not
a talkgroup. Unit IDs will display differently according to the
type of trunked system, and will replace the n's shown here.
EDACS and MOTOROLA TYPE 1 innnnn
MOTOROLA TYPE 2 7nnnnn
Hint -- There are thousands of Unit IDs in typical systems,
but relatively few I-Calls at a given moment, so it is
normally best to let the scanner receive any I-Calls
without trying to specify particular units.
I-CALLS IN SEARCH MODE
In Search mode, the scanner default is that I-Call reception is
OFF. This means that I-Calls will not be received until you
program them to be ON. You have three choices for
controlling I-Call reception. Through the Menu system, go to
2:SCAN OPTION / 2:TRUNK - select bank number -/
8:I-CALL, and make your selection.
The menu choices are:
I-CALLs TALKGROUPS
1
OFF Not received Received normally This is the BC250D default
2
ON YES Received normally Use this choice to receive I-Calls
together with normal
talkgroup traffic.
3 ONLY YES NOT RECEIVED Use this setting to listen to I-Calls,
and block all talkgroup reception.
For quick access to this mode,
press (decimal) then RSM.
