group IDs are divisible by 16. If you try

talk group IDs.

SPECIAL FEATURES
USING DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio
system that might have a period of 2
or more seconds between a transmis-
sion and a reply. To keep from miss-
ing a reply, the scanner automatically
pauses 2 seconds on a channel after
a transmission ends before it pro-
ceeds to the next channel.
