7. To store the next ID memory in sequence, press ^ and repeat Step 5.
8. Press SCAN to start scanning.
When automatically storing trunked IDs in the ID list by pressing TRUNK during a trunked transmission, the
scanner will automatically store the active ID in the next available open ID storage location in the ID list. We
suggest leaving ID sub-bank 0 empty when first setting up an ID list. This provides a location for new
auto-store IDs to be placed and organized.
Programming the Priority Channel
In addition to the 500 programmable memory channels, the scanner has one priority channel.
With the priority feature, you can scan through programmed channels and still not miss an important or
interesting transmission on the priority channel. When priority is turned on, the scanner checks the priority
channel every 2 seconds, and stays on the channel if there is activity until the activity stops.
Notes:
. The priority feature does not operate while the scanner receives a trunking voice channel or during
trunking delay time. Traffic on the priority channel may be missed if it occurs while the scanner is
monitoring a trunking voice call.
. If you program a weather channel as the priority channel, then activate priority mode, the scanner stops
on the weather channel only when the scanner detects the 1050 Hz weather alert tone.
