43 Basic Operation Scanning Systems To begin scanning programmed systems, press Scan. The BR330T scans all unlocked systems in all activated quick-key groups and any searches unlocked for search and scan. Notes: • If no systems are programmed, or all systems are locked out, an error message appears. Program a system or select a system to scan. • When scanning multiple systems, the BR330T scans systems according to the assigned quick key. Systems assigned to quick key 1 are scanned first, then 2, 3, 4, etc. Systems not assigned to a quick key are scanned last, then unlocked searches. Within a quick key, systems are scanned in the order they were assigned. • Within a system, channels are scanned according to the assigned channel group, with the same priority as described above for systems. • The BR330T scans a system for the duration you set using the System Hold Time option (see “Set- ting the System Hold Time” on Page 82). For trunked systems, the scanner moves to the next system after the hold time expires, the current transmission ends, and the channel delay expires. Conventional systems operate similarly, but all unlocked channels are scanned at least one time regardless of the hold time setting. • Each search range is searched for the amount of time you set using the “Set Hold Time” option. See “Setting the System Hold Time” on Page 82 for more information. Preprogrammed System Tips All systems preprogrammed into the scanner are assigned to a Quick Key. See “Preprogrammed Sys- tems” on Page 148 for a list of preprogrammed systems and their Quick Key assignments.
44Notes: • The systems preprogrammed into the scanner are located primarily in major metropolitan areas. • You might hear transmissions on frequencies assigned to very distant stations. This will happen if a local system also uses the same frequency. You can scan the preprogrammed systems more efficiently by preventing the BR330T from trying to scan systems that are not in your area. To do this, refer to the quick key assignments listed in “Preprogrammed Systems” on Page 148, and enter the quick key for each distant system to turn them off. To stop scanning a local preprogrammed system, you can: • Lock out the system (see “Locking/Unlocking Sys- tems” on Page 45) • Reassign the system to another quick key so you can easily enable/disable it independently of other systems (see “Editing the System Quick Key” on Page 81) • Delete the system (see “Deleting Systems” on Page 88) Important! You cannot restore preprogrammed systems if you delete them. Selecting Systems to Scan To select systems to scan, press Scan then press the quick key assigned to the system or systems you want to scan. For quick keys 0-9, press the quick key’s number. For quick keys 10-99, press then press the quick key’s 2-digit number. To stop scanning the system(s), press (if the quick key is a 2-digit quick key) then the number button or buttons again. The Sx: (system) indicators on the display show the systems that are currently selected.
45 Basic Operation To select or lock out a system that is not assigned to a key, press and hold while you rotate the scroll control until the desired system is selected. Then, continue to hold and press L/O to either lock out or unlock the system. Selecting System Channel Groups Within a system, you can assign groups of channels to a group quick key (see “Setting the Group Quick Key” on Page 90). Follow these steps to activate or deactivate a channel group within a system while scanning. 1. Press to hold on the system (or hold down then rotate the scroll control to select the system). 2. Continue to hold and press the number key corresponding to the channel group you want to activate or deactivate. Locking/Unlocking Systems Follow these steps to lock out a system so that it does not scan even if its quick key is selected. 1. While holding down , rotate the scroll control to select the system. 2. Continue to hold down and press L/O to lock out the system. System Locked appears. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to unlock a system you have previously locked. System Unlocked appears. Locking/Unlocking Channels Follow these steps to lock out a channel so that it does not scan even if its system and channel group are selected. 1. While holding down , rotate the scroll control to select the system where the channel is stored. Func Func Func Func Func Func Func Func

You can also lock out an active channel by pressing L/O while the scanner is stopped on the channel. ID Scan/ID Search Mode While you are scanning a trunked system, the scanner can be in either ID Scan or ID Search mode: • ID Scan – the scanner only stops on talk group ID’s that you have programmed into the system • ID Search – the scanner stops on any unlocked talk group that becomes active. To toggle between ID Scan and ID Search, press then press Scan within 2 seconds while the scanner is scanning the system. If the scanner does not scan the system long enough for you to easily do this, press while the scanner is scanning the system (or press then rotate the scroll control to select the system). Then, release and press Scan within 2 seconds. Temporarily Holding On a System To temporarily hold on a system, press and hold . To hold on a different system, continue to hold and rotate the scroll control to select the system. Normal scanning resumes 2 seconds after you release .

You see: Quick TGID Save? To save the ID into a channel, press E. Otherwise, press . If you press E, the scanner stores the ID into a channel group called Qck Save Grp in the current system. Quick-Storing Channels or Talk Group ID’s 1. Hold on an existing channel in any system. 2. Enter the frequency or talk group ID you want to store (press twice to enter hyphens in talk group ID’s). 3. To quick-store the channel or talk group ID, press E. Otherwise, press . If you enter a frequency then press E, the scanner stores it in the Qck Save Grp group in a system called Qck Save Cnv Sys. These are created if they do not exist. Then, the scanner prompts you to save other channel settings. If you enter a talk group ID then press E, the scanner stores it into a channel group named Qck Save Grp in the current system. If the talk group ID’s format is not the type used by the current system, the scanner displays an error message and does not save the talk group ID. If you pressed No in Step 3, the scanner prompts you to select the system and the group where you want to store the frequency or talk group ID.
48 Quickly Recalling Channels 1. Press Hold to hold on any channel. 2. Press + rcl. The scanner prompts you to select the system where the channel is stored. 3. Rotate the scroll control to select the system, then press E. The scanner prompts you to select the channel group where the channel is stored. 4. Rotate the scroll control to select the group, then press E. The scanner prompts you to select a channel. 5. Rotate the scroll control to select the channel, then press E to hold on that channel. Monitoring Trunking Activity To monitor trunking activity, press Hold then turn the scroll control to select the control channel frequency (for a Motorola or EDACS system) or any system frequency (for an LTR system). Active talk group ID’s appear on the second line of the display. For Motorola systems, the scanner will show the System ID on the top line of the display. For EDACS systems, the scanner will show the site ID on the top line of the display. Trunking indicators appear on the display. Toggling Channel Alpha Tags To change the display so the channel and frequency or Talk Group ID appear instead of the alpha tag, press + 5. Func Func
