TALK GROUP IDS
There are 10 talk group ID banks and each ID bank has 5 sub-banks and each sub-bank has 20 ID
locations. You can program up to 100 talk group IDs in each bank, so you can program up to 1,000 talk
group IDs in 10 banks. When the scanner stops on a transmission in the Motorola, or EDACS mode, it
checks to see if the ID has been stored. In the closed mode, the scanner only stops on the transmission
and displays its text tag if you have stored and not locked out the ID. In the open mode, the scanner
always stops on a transmission, but it displays the ID’s text tag if you have stored the ID.
Storing Talk Group IDs
To store a talk group ID when scanning, press TRUNK when the scanner stops on a transmission. The
bottom line changes to ID#XXXX, indicating that the ID is stored.
Note: When you try to store more than 100 talk group IDs in a bank, Memory full! appears. Clear some talk
group IDs in order to store new ones (see “Clearing Talk Group IDs” on Page XX).
Follow these steps to manually store talk group IDs or to edit a stored ID.
1. Press PROG.
2. Press TRUNK.
3. To select the bank where you want to store the ID, press FUNC then /¥ or ¥/.
4. Press MODE to select MO or ED.

Notes:
• If you made a mistake in Step 4, Invalid ID. appears and the scanner beeps when you press ENTER.
Start again at Step 3.
• You can enter either decimal or AFS code for ED ID. The default setting is decimal ID entry. When you
press FUNC then 2, AFS format appears for about 2 seconds. Now you can enter the ID code with AFS
format.
6. Press TEXT and enter the text tag for the ID, then press ENTER.
Invalid appears when you enter the incorrect ID code.
