selected for a trunked system, press HOLD/MAN, and the
radio will seek and acquire the trunked system control
channel.
ID Search Hold and Direct Entry ID Hold Mode
Just like in Conventional Search, Hold lets you pause ID
Search on an interesting transmission without storing the
talkgroup into memory.
If you hear an interesting ID during Search mode, and want to
continue listening to it --
•Press HOLD/MANto stop the search.
If you want to listen to a specific ID, while in Hold mode --
•Use the keypad to...

talkgroups in the Utilities agency. You can do this with just a
few key presses. To use ID  BLOCKOUTjust enter the
Agency- part, or the Agency-Fleet part, of the talkgroup code
and press L/O. For example, to Blockout Agency 4 in Trunk
Search, press HOLD/MAN, 0, 4,  (decimal key), and then
L/O. For other ways to use partial AFS entry, be sure to read
the section EDACS Reception.
Review ID Lockout
You can check all IDs already locked out.

Reverse Key
For Motorola and EDACS system; to change your display
between the Scan List indicators and trunk bank display,
press REVERSE.
For LTR systems only, the talkgroup must be active in order
to change the Scan List and bank indicators. If the talkgroup
is not active, change the Scan List by using the Menu screen.
Setting the Delay Mode for Trunking Mode
The delay of 2 seconds is automatically set for each talkgroup
for ID Scan mode and ID Search mode. To set the delay
feature, enter into the Menu...

Setting Priority in Trunking Mode
You can set priority in your trunking lists, just as you do in
your conventional ones. You can set the priority by pressing
and holding PRIfor 2 seconds in ID Scan Hold mode. 
After you’ve set up your Scan List, press PRIto activate it.
It’s very similar to conventional priority although there is no
interrupt during the transmissions. Priorities are checked in
between transmissions.
With Priority ON, you can hold on an ID in your Scan List,
such as Scan List 6, memory...

Moving between Scan List Memories
There are a number of ways to step and move through your
Scan List memories:
1. Press HOLD/MAN in the ID Scan mode and rotate the
VFOto move to up or down.
2. Or, press HOLD/MAN in the ID Scan mode, next press 
0-9(scan list number), then press 0-9(memory position).
For example to move to Scan List 4, memory position 10,
press: HOLD/MAN, 4, 0, HOLD/MAN
Set Activity ID to ON, when your scanner finds an active ID
during a transmission the active ID appears every 0.5...

You can hold any I-Call IDs. Because you can only hold on
one ID, and there are two IDs involved in any I-Call
communication (the transmitting and the receiving units), you
might not hear the full conversation, but you probably will.
In Search mode, when you hear an interesting I-Call,
you can enter the instant shortcut  (decimal key)
then RSMto enter I-Call Only mode. This blocks all
talkgroup traffic and lets you hear just the I-Call. 
To return to normal reception, you must use the Menu
system to...

After the scanner finishes checking a trunked system
for activity, it will conventionally scan the other
frequencies in the bank (remember, only trunking
frequencies are programmed in Trunk mode).
To scan a mix of trunking and conventional banks, select the
banks you wish to be active, and then press SCAN. The
scanner will instantly begin scanning. If you have not
programmed a trunking bank with talkgroup ID’s, you will
receive NO  ID  (----)message for that bank. 
You can switch to Search mode and the...

EDACS®Tracking
TrunkTracker III now allows tracking of EDACS®trunked
systems. Until now these widely used systems have been
almost impossible to monitor with a conventional scanner.
With your TrunkTracker III listening to EDACS(s) is
remarkably easy, and perhaps even easier than conventional
scanning.
EDACS systems use Transmission Trunking, which means
that each transmission is assigned a new frequency. As the
conversation moves through the systems frequencies, your
TrunkTracker III...

An EDACS®Trunked system
This chart shows how talkgroups are
organized within an EDACS system 
at the Agency level. The individual
talkgroups cannot be shown at this
scale because there are over 2000.
However the chart can show the 16
Agencies in this example. The system is
logical and easy to understand. EDACS
systems are typically arranged in an
outline structure.
The system users are given blocks of
talkgroups. Sizes vary but most large
cities and other agencies have blocks of
128 channels. Smaller...

For example Sullivan, in decimal, uses channels from 384 to
511. This is not as easy to remember as Agency 03. 
But decimal is useful if you need to work from decimal talkgroup
lists. To turn Emargency Alert ON/OFF, enter into the Menu
mode. Select 2:SCAN  OPTION / 2:TRUNK-select bank
