4:L/O ID REVIEW

Scan. Use the Up/Down arrow keys or turn the
VFO to the left or right to view the
IDs that have been locked out. To leave the lockout IDs unchanged, press
MENU to
back out of the menu. To unlock an ID, press the
L/O key. To unlock all the IDs that

5:PROGRAM ID
You can program IDs into Scan List memory either during Trunk Scan or Search
without going into the Menu. However, you can also use the Menu to program IDs.
This is particularly helpful when you are not near the trunked system you wish to
later monitor. You can set it up and have it ready to go at some later time.
After you have selected the Scan List location (1-10) and the memory location
(1-10), you can then do the following:
1Program the talkgroup or I-CALL ID number
2Set an alpha tag for same
3Assign the Record option for same. Whenever a transmission is active on
the ID the signal can be recorded to a tape recorder using the
TAPE OUT
jack on the back of the radio.
4.Assign a Beep Alert to the ID. Whenever that ID is active, you will hear a
rapid three beep tone at the start of the transmission.
6:ID LIST TAG
Assign an alphanumeric tag to any or all of the 10 Scan Lists for the system. During
Scan Mode, you will see the List Tag (on the bottom text line) along with any alpha
tag you may have set for an ID. In Search mode, you will see any Bank Tag you
have set.
7:I-CALL (MOTOROLA AND EDCS)
Most communications within a trunked system are group calls where one unit (such
as a dispatcher) communicates with all the units within his/her group (all the patrol
vehicles on the east side of town, for example). The units within this group comprise
what is typically known as a talkgroup. There are some communications which are
direct unit-to-unit conversations where one individual converses with another
individual. The call is initiated by a radio and is directed to another single radio.
Within the system, no one outside of these two users hears the conversation.
Your BC780XLT defaults to I-CALL OFF mode. You can hear these conversations
by using this Menu item to turn the I-CALL function to ON. In Search mode, with
I-CALL on, you will hear both talkgroup calls and I-CALLs. You can also set I-CALLs
to I-CALL ONLY during which you will monitor only I-CALLs in Search mode. You
can also program I-CALL IDs into Scan List memory.

7:ID SCAN LIST (LT)
When scanning an LT system you can only turn Scan Lists off and on when an LT
talk group that you have entered into memory is active. To provide you with another
method to turn Scan Lists on and off, you can use this Menu item which only
appears when you have selected LT in Trunk Type.
