TALK GROUP IDS There are 10 talk group ID banks and each ID bank has 5 sub- banks. 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.

A General Guide to Frequencies 69 A GENERAL GUIDE TO FREQUENCIES 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. US WEATHER F REQUENCIES ( IN MHZ) H AM RADIO F REQUENCIES Ham radio operators often transmit emergency information when other means of communication break down. The chart below shows the frequencies the scanner receives that ham radio operators normally use. BIRDIE FREQUENCIES Every scanner has birdie frequencies.
