You can hold any I-Call IDs. Because you can only hold on one ID, and there are two IDs
involved in any I-Call communication (the transmitting and the receiving units), you might not
hear the full conversation, but you probably will.
☞ In Search mode, when you hear an interesting I-Call, you can enter the instant
shortcut (decimal key) then RSM to enter I-Call Only mode. This blocks all
talkgroup traffic and lets you hear just the I-Call. To return to normal reception, you
must use the Menu system to select the ON or OFF option.
Note: When storing I-Call IDs, remember that the ID will be for only one of the units – either
the transmitting or receiving unit. Unless you specifically want to receive a certain ID,
it might be better to use the special code in the HINT below.
I-CALLS IN SCAN AND HOLD MODE
You can store I-Call IDs in Scan Lists, just like talkgroup IDs, for use by ID Scan and Scan
Hold modes. To program a specific I-Call Unit ID into a Scan Lists:
EDACS or Motorola Type 1
Press (decimal key) followed by the Unit ID digits, then E.
Motorola Type 2
Press 7 followed by the Unit ID digits, then E.
HINT - There is a special code to let you receive all I-Call IDs with a single Scan Lists
entry. Press (decimal key), 0, E. This will store the special code i0 in an
EDACS Scan Lists, or 700000 in a Motorola Scan Lists or Digital. Then,
whenever you Scan this entry, or select it in Hold mode, the scanner will receive
any active I-Calls, regardless of the Unit IDs.
Note: Motorola I-CALL tracking performance may vary between systems.
Multi-Track
The BC785D allows you to track more than one system at a time. Here are some highlights
of this feature:
❖ You can actually track up to 10 trunking systems at one time.
❖ You can trunk, scan, or search and scan conventional frequencies at the same time.
