TRUNK SEARCH: This mode works similarly to TRUNK SCAN. If the scanner finds any (non-locked-out) ID when it checks the control channel, you will hear it. You will then hear any replies that follow within two seconds (or whatever delay you may have set). After that the scanner will move on and not continuously search the system for additional IDs (on busy systems you would never leave the system if this were the case). Note that if you press the SRCH key while monitoring one ID, the radio will check if any other IDs are active (it will disregard the ID you just left), and if none are active, it will move on. LIMIT/ KEY: If you wish to exit a trunked system without waiting for the currently active talkgroup to finish its communication, press the LIMIT/ key. This is particularly helpful on very busy systems where many talkgroups are active and activity is frequent and longlasting. Pressing this key will move the scanner on to the conventional frequencies in the same bank or the next bank. SCAN & SEARCH Icons For the first time on a Uniden scanner, you will see both the SCAN and the SEARCH icons active at the same time. This indicates that the radio is scanning conventional banks and Trunk searching trunking banks. When the radio is trunking, only the SEARCH icon will be lit. Note that to start a conventional search, you must place the radio into conventional manual mode and then press the SEARCH key. 48

TRUNK SEARCH
: This mode works similarly to TRUNK SCAN. If the scanner finds any
(non-locked-out) ID when it checks the control channel, you will hear it.You will then hear
any replies that follow within two seconds (or whatever delay you may have set).After that
the scanner will move on and not continuously search the system for additional IDs (on
busy systems you would never leave the system if this were the case). Note that if you
press the
SRCH
key while monitoring one ID, the radio will check if any other IDs are
active (it will disregard the ID you just left), and if none are active, it will move on.
LIMIT/
▼
KEY
: If you wish to exit a trunked system without waiting for the currently active
talkgroup to finish its communication, press the
LIMIT/
▼
key. This is particularly helpful on
very busy systems where many talkgroups are active and activity is frequent and long-
lasting. Pressing this key will move the scanner on to the conventional frequencies in the
same bank or the next bank.
SCAN & SEARCH Icons
For the first time on a Uniden scanner, you will see both the
SCAN
and the
SEARCH
icons active at the same time. This indicates that the radio is scanning conventional banks
and Trunk searching trunking banks. When the radio is trunking, only the
SEARCH
icon
will be lit. Note that to start a conventional search, you must place the radio into
conventional manual mode and then press the
SEARCH
key.
