User's Manual
Note: If you have not yet programmed any talk group IDs into the
scanner, this is the only trunk scanning mode available.
Searching Only Stored Talk Groups (ID Scan)
To scan only those talk groups you have stored into your scanner,
press
SCAN
. When one of the talk groups you have stored
becomes active, the scanner switches to that transmission and
displays the ID number for that talk group.
Note: You must store at least 2 talk group IDs in the system for ID
scanning to work.
Monitoring Talk Group IDs
To see all the talk group IDs that are active on the system, while
monitoring a trunked system press
TRUNK
. The scanner stops
trunking the system and instead holds on the system’s control
channel. You hear the control data and the scanner displays every
talk group ID as it becomes active in the system. To resume trunk
tracking, press
TRUNK
again.
Holding On a Single Talk Group
To hold on an active talk group when scanning or searching, press
HOLD
U
. The BC898T stops scanning and holds on the current
trunking system. It only receives transmissions on the talk group
that was active when you pressed
HOLD
U
.
To select a talk group to hold on when that talk group is not active,
you must first program that talk group into an ID list. Then, while
scanning that system, use the scroll bar to select the talk group ID
to hold on.
To select a talk group to hold on when that group is not active,
while ID scanning or ID searching the system, press
HOLD
U
.
Then, either enter the ID or (if you have stored the ID) scroll to the
ID you want to hold on.
Locking Out Talk Groups
Like conventional scanning, you can lock out unwanted talk group
traffic on trunking systems. This is particularly important if you are
ID searching a trunking system, as many systems share both voice
traffic (that you usually want to hear) with some data traffic from
water meter systems, door alarms, traffic signals and other data
sources that you don’t want to hear. You can lock out up to 200 talk
group IDs at the same time.
To lock out a talk group, press
L/O
when the scanner stops on that
group. Or, if you have stored the talk group in an ID list, select that
ID and press
L/O
.
