Understanding Scanning
I-Call (Motorola/EDACS)
I-calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are not
heard by other system users. Your BCD396T can
receive I-call transmissions. See “Setting I-Call
(Motorola and EDACS Systems Only)” on Page 79 for
more information about monitoring I-call transmissions.

search engine to find and use them.

look up the frequencies and systems used by those
agencies. Here are a few useful sites:
