locking out talk group IDs

Many municipal and commercial services use trunk systems to transmit signals from such

devices as water meter transmitters, door alarms, and traffic signals. Some signals are

encrypted, as well, and most are not voice signals. Since all these are assigned IDs just like

other users, you may want to lock out reception of these ID signals. The scanner allows that

you lock out up to 50 IDs for each trunk scanning bank. If you use all the banks as trunking

banks, you can lock out up to 2000 IDs at one time.

Note:

•If you lock out an ID while searching, it is also locked out of the scan list(s). See “using talk

group ID lists.”

To lock out an ID, press L/O when the ID appears. The ID is locked out, and the next active

ID appears.
