6:CLONE
You can clone all the programming, including frequencies, talkgroups and alpha
tags as well as bank settings and other parameters from one BC785D to a BC250D
or another BC785D.
7:DATA SKIP
A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. This means the
BC785D will occasionally stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions.
You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during search.
8:SQ MODE
The SQ Mode allows you to set at your option, whether the scanner will stop on all
active transmissions on a particular frequency or it will only respond to
transmissions with a pre-set subaudible tone. This applies to both Conventional
Search and Scan modes. The options are as follows:
1. CSQ - The default setting is CSQ (carrier squelch). In this mode the scanner will
stop on any transmission on a programmed frequency (Squelch mode does not
apply to trunking).
2. TONE SQ - In Tone Squelch mode, if you have set a subaudible tone (CTCSS
or DCS) for a frequency, the scanner will only stop on that frequency if the
transmission includes the prescribed tone.
3. TONE SEARCH - In this mode, as soon as the scanner stops on any (non-
trunked) channel, the scanner will begin to search for any subaudible tone that is
being used on a transmitted frequency. The scanner will check each CTCSS
tone sequentially and it will find DCS tones instantly.
9:BANK TAG
Allows you to set an alphanumeric text tag for individual banks in the scanner (1-
10). (The "0" key represents Bank number 10.) For example, you may wish to set
the Bank one text tag as Law Enforcement, the second bank as Fire, etc.
0:P-25 CARD
When you insert the optional card (BCi25D) and select 1:ENABLE in this mode,
you can monitor APCO P-25 digital communications. See page 68 for details.
