Note: When you try to store more than 150 talkgroup IDs in a bank, Memory full! appears in the scanner’s

To automatically store a talkgroup ID, press TRUNK when the scanner stops on a voice channel
transmission or when a talkgroup ID is indicated in the manual mode. The ID of the active talkgroup will be
automatically stored in the next available ID memory location. The bottom line of the scanner display
indicates where the ID was stored as ID save X-YY and then changes to ID#ZZZZZ, where X is the
sub-bank number, YY is the ID number within the sub-bank, and ZZZZZ is the stored talkgroup ID code.
