Holding on a Single Talkgroup
To hold on an active talkgroup when scanning or searching,
press HOLD/MAN. The BC296D stops scanning and holds on
the current trunking system. It only receives transmissions on
the talkgroup that was active when you pressed HOLD/MAN.
To select a talkgroup to hold on when that talkgroup is not
active, you must first program that talkgroup into an ID list.
Then, while scanning that system, use the scroll bar to select
the talkgroup ID to hold on.
To select a talkgroup to hold on when that group is not active,
while ID scanning or ID searching the system, press
HOLD/MAN. Then, either enter the ID or (if you have stored
the ID) scroll to the ID you want to hold on.
Locking Out Talkgroups
Like conventional scanning, you can lockout unwanted
talkgroup traffic on trunking systems. This is particularly
important if you are ID Searching a trunking system, as many
systems share both voice traffic (that you usually want to
hear) with some data traffic from water meter systems, door
alarms, traffic signals and other data sources that you don’t
want to hear.
To lockout a talkgroup, press L/O when the scanner stops on
that group. Or, if you have stored the talkgroup in an ID list,
select that ID and press L/O.
To unlock a talkgroup stored in a scan list, use the scroll bar
to manually select that ID, then press L/O to unlock it.
To unlock an ID you locked out during ID search or ID scan:
2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the Bank
→ 6:L/O ID REVIEW
Then, use the scroll bar to select the ID you want to unlock
and press L/O.
Or, press HOLD/MAN then press L/O for 2 seconds to clear
all the lockouts from the system.
EDACS Blockout
This is a powerful form of lockout that is only available for
EDACS systems. EDACS Blockout lets you lockout entire
Agencies or Fleets, not just individual talkgroups. To use
blockout, while scanning an EDACS system, press
HOLD/MAN then press L/O for 2 seconds to clear all the
lockouts from the system. Then enter the agency or the
agency and fleet and press then L/O. For example, to
lockout agency 4, press 04 L/O.
