AFS stands for 'Agency-Fleet-Subfleet'.
AFS talkgroups are used in all EDACS reception -- in ID
Search, ID Lockout and ID Scan Scan Lists. The powerful AFS
Partial Entry feature designed into the BC250D lets you use
either a complete talkgroup code, or just the most significant
part.
This feature lets you expand or
narrow searching and
scanning to one of 4 levels.
By entering only the desired part
of an AFS talkgroup,
you can select 2048 talkgroups,
128 talkgroups, 8 talkgroups, or a
single talkgroup.
For example, you could program every talkgroup in a police
department with just 4 key presses. You can use the AFS
Partial Entry feature anywhere that you need to specify
EDACS talkgroup.
Your BC250D can also enter or display EDACS talkgroups in
decimal format (0-2047).
