TALK GROUP IDS
You can program up to 100 talk group
IDs in each bank. When the scanner
stops on a transmission in the LTR,
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 trans-
mission, but it displays the ID’s text
tag if you have stored the ID.

A GENERAL GUIDE TO SCANNING
Reception of the frequencies covered by your scanner is mainly “line-of-sight.” That
means you usually cannot hear stations that are beyond the horizon.
GUIDE TO FREQUENCIES
National Weather Frequencies
Birdie Frequencies
Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals created inside the scan-
ner’s receiver. These operating frequencies might interfere with transmissions on
the same frequencies. If you program one of these frequencies, you hear only
noise on that...
