5:PROGRAM ID
You can program IDs into Scan List memory either during Trunk Scan or Search
without going into the Menu. However, you can also use the Menu to program IDs.
This is particularly helpful when you are not near the trunked system you wish to
later monitor. You can set it up and have it ready to go at some later time.
After you have selected the Scan List location (1-10) and the memory location
(1-10), you can then do the following:
1 Program the talkgroup or I-CALL ID number
2 Set an alpha tag for same
3 Assign the Record option for same. Whenever a transmission is active on
the ID the signal can be recorded to a tape recorder using the TAPE OUT
jack on the back of the radio.
4. Assign a Beep Alert to the ID. Whenever that ID is active, you will hear a
rapid three beep tone at the start of the transmission.
6:ID LIST TAG
Assign an alphanumeric tag to any or all of the 10 Scan Lists for the system.
During Scan Mode, you will see the List Tag (on the bottom text line) along with
any alpha tag you may have set for an ID. In Search mode, you will see any Bank
Tag you have set.
7:I-CALL (MOTOROLA AND EDCS)
Most communications within a trunked system are group calls where one unit (such
as a dispatcher) communicates with all the units within his/her group (all the patrol
vehicles on the east side of town, for example). The units within this group
comprise what is typically known as a talkgroup. There are some communications
which are direct unit-to-unit conversations where one individual converses with
another individual. The call is initiated by a radio and is directed to another single
radio. Within the system, no one outside of these two users hears the conversation.
Your UBC780XLT defaults to I-CALL
OFF mode. You can hear these conversations
by using this Menu item to turn the I-CALL function to
ON. In Search mode, with
I-CALL on, you will hear both talkgroup calls and I-CALLs. You can also set I-
CALLs to I-CALL ONLY during which you will monitor only I-CALLs in Search
mode. You can also program I-CALL IDs into Scan List memory.
8:ID SCAN LIST (LT)
When scanning an LT system you can only turn Scan Lists off and on when an LT
talkgroup that you have entered into memory is active. To provide you with another
method to turn Scan Lists on and off, you can use this Menu item which only
appears when you have selected LT in Trunk Type.
9:STATUS BIT (MOTOROLA)
On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which specialised types of
communications utilise unique talkgroup numbers. An emergency call will occur on a
unique talkgroup from its primary assignment, for example. Because the UBC780XLT
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.
