0:STATUS BIT (MOTOROLA)
On Type 2 trunking systems there is a method by which specialized types of
communications utilize unique talkgroup numbers. An emergency call will
occur on a unique talkgroup from its primary assignment, for example.
Because the BC785D defaults to Status-Bit On mode, you never need to
worry about missing these transmissions. If you've programmed talkgroup
33264 into Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency call
within the group, you will hear it on 33264.
EDCS ID FORM (EDACS)
You can change to display the talkgroups in decimal mode, but this mode
does not provide you with the flexibility that you get with AFS. The BC785D
defaults to show the talkgroup number in AFS mode (Agency-Fleet-
Subfleet). For details on AFS see pages 59~60.
OR
:END CODE (MOTOROLA)
When this function is disabled, the radio looks for squelch before returning
to the control channel instead of waiting for the disconnect tone. Only in rare
instances will you need to adjust the default settings. The condition to return
to control channels depends on whether a signal is present or not.
:CNTRL CH ONLY
(TYPE 1/TYPE 2 800, 900)
With this mode you will be able to track Motorola Type I and II 800 and 900
MHz trunked systems by simply entering the control channel which manages
the trunked system. You will not have to program the voice channels. There
are 4 channel plans which you can select from.
3:SYSTEM OPTION
1:DIMMER
Allows you to change the brightness of the display.
2:SCREEN MASK
Screen Mask allows you to limit what appears on the display to the alpha tags that
you have set for a channel along with a few function icons. Screen Mask removes
the frequency, receiving mode tone data and signal strength bars. This mode is
particularly useful in public safety vehicles where "information overload" is already a
problem. Screen Mask does not work in Search mode.
3:KEY BEEP
Use this function to turn OFF the keypad acknowledgement beep. The default
setting is ON.
4:ENTER LOCK
Use Enter Lock to prevent accidental re-programming of channels, tone
(CTCSS/DCS) and talkgroups entered into memory. The default setting is OFF.
5:PC CONTROL
Use this function to set the transfer speed (baud rate) at which your personal
computer (PC) communicates with the scanner when downloading information into
your scanner using Uniden E-Scanner software. See page 72 for details.
