Location Control allows you to enable or disable channels scanned in a Favorites List based on your location. Your Departments and Sites have locations and ranges programmed.

The scanner then compares your location data with Site and Department data to determine which channels to scan. If you are traveling long distances hooking up a GPS device would be a better way to go. See also Review Scan Avoids. See also Clear All Scan Avoids. This good to use after you have optimized the Full Database when selecting a location. Notes: 1. When adding channels from the Full Database, only channels that are inside the set location range, and from the selected Service Types are added to the new list.

Set Hold Time This sets in seconds the amount of time the scanner will scan the System before moving on to the next system. All Unavoided channels will be scanned at least once regardless of this setting. The scanner moves to the next system after the hold time expires, any current transmission ends, and the channel delay time expires.

The default and recommended setting is 0 seconds. Enter the hold time sec. You must program a system fleet map in order for the scanner to properly track and display talk group IDs. Defaults to 0 for all blocks Motorola Type II system. The next available block is prompted to select the next size code Repeat for each block as needed Note: If you select size code 12, 13, or 14, these restrictions apply:.

Since these size codes require multiple blocks, you will be prompted for the next available block. Example: If you assign Block 0 as 12, the scanner prompts you for block 2, the next block available, instead of block 1. See also Priority Scanning. The default setting is Ignore. Yes - the scanner treats all received IDs as unique IDs. Ignore - the scanner rounds all IDs down to the next interval of Analog - The scanner recognizes only analog end transmission codes.

Ignore - The scanner waits for the carrier to drop before leaving a channel. Nothing Avoided appears if nothing is Avoided. The default settings are Off. The default setting is Search.

Search - The scanner opens squelch for any digital signal and displays the NAC being used. Digital Waiting Time Conventional only This setting gives the scanner time to determine if channels on Conventional Systems have digital or analog transmissions.

During this time, the scanner will evaluate the received signal and, if it detects digital data, will open squelch immediately. If digital is not detected before the delay expires, the scanner will open squelch at the end of this delay. This is to prevent "false decode" problems. This setting only affects conventional channels with an Audio Type set to All. The default setting is ms. Note: Any analog transmissions will lose the first part of the transmission up to the wait time you set here. The default setting is Auto.

Auto - Automatically sets the decode threshold based on received signal. Default - Sets the scanner to the default threshold of 8, Auto. If the signal is too low, RX reliability is not high enough to make P25 adjustments correctly [ 1 ]. The default setting is 8. Programming Departments. Set Department Quick Key. Delete Department.

Using Startup Keys. You can program each of your Favorites Lists with a Startup Key so that when you power up the scanner and press the key number, just those Favorites List s assigned to the key will be enabled for scan. Turn the scanner off. Press and hold the number key that corresponds to the startup key when you turn the scanner on.

Continue holding the number key until the scanner display shows the number of the startup key configuration. The scanner then checks all Favorites Lists and:. Note : You can't cancel Startup Configuration, i. Priority Scanning. Conventional Priority Scan When the scanner is scanning a Conventional System, it interrupts scanning, based on the Priority Interval and Max Channels settings, to check priority channels for activity.

The more channels you have set to priority, the longer the interruption will be. The Favorites List s and System s containing the priority channel s have to be enabled and not Avoided or the scanner will display Priority Scan No Channel.

Conventional Priority DND The scanner checks priority channels, based on the Priority Interval and Max Channels settings, only when not receiving other conventional channels so there is no interruption in scanning with conventional systems. Priority ID Scan This function is similar to conventional priority although there is no interruption during the transmission. Priority ID Scan is always on for a system if enabled in the system setting.

Priority is checked in between transmissions, when the scanner is receiving the control channel, and during the channel delay period. The scanner can only look for priority IDs in the trunked system it is currently scanning.

Preemptive Priority ID Scanning For Motorola systems that have channel priority active on the system, if you flag a channel as priority and the system also has that TGID identified as a priority channel, the scanner will preempt any current transmission if the TGID becomes active. The highest priority is for channels in System QK 0. The lowest priority is for channels in System QK Priority for channels in the same Department follows the order in which they were created.

Priority Options. Set Priority Sets the Priority Mode. You can also toggle these modes in Scan Mode by pressing Func then. Off - The Priority feature is off. Priority DND - The scanner checks conventional priority channels only when not receiving other conventional channels. PRI appears in the display reversed -. Priority Scan - The scanner checks conventional priority channels. PRI appears in the display. Set Interval This sets in seconds how often the scanner will check the priority channels.

If there are more priority channels than the value you select, the channels are divided into more than one group and the scanner scans each group in turn. Example: If you set the maximum channels to 20 and there are priority channels, the scanner checks those channels in groups of 20 and takes a total of 5 intervals to complete the priority scan.

Scanning Order. With previous scanners, you selected banks to scan. See also Understanding Quick Keys. The scanner will not scan all Systems in one Favorites List and then move to the next List. Systems, Departments, and Sites with the same QK are scanned in order of creation. Conventional Channels in Departments are also scanned in order of creation.

The Database is scanned next, in order of creation. The scanner scans a system for the duration you set using the System Hold Time option. 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 Unavoided channels are scanned at least one time regardless of the hold time setting. IDs are not really scanned. The scanner checks for any activity in the trunking system and:. Contents Scanning Checklist: 1. Service Types for the channels you want to monitor must be set to On.

I'm trying to find something that gives ideas on using the quick key. I understnd you can leave it blank and it will be enabled, and you can set them up to bu used by the tags.

I'm just having a problem grasping how you can use the system keys, department keys to organize them. Any assistants will be gratly appreciated. I vaven't found any youtube videos that goes over that and also the manual and Easier to read hasn;'t helped either. Joined Apr 24, Messages Location Upstate.

Joined May 2, Messages 3 Location Maine. After a very long time, I am still trying to grasp the culture and logic of the use of quick keys and tags. I now get it that I can turn on or off the scanning of a service with a QK as long as the service is switched on initially in the scanner.

It took me a while to figure that one out..
