Type II Special Status Bits Type II Motorola Smartnet systems use these status bits for special transmissions such as emergency, patches, DES/DVP scrambled transmissions, and multiselects. Motorola trunking radios directly interpret them for their special functions, thus no difference is noticed by the person with the radio. The scanner however interprets these special talk group status bits as different talk groups entirely. Below is the conversion chart for these special status bits.

TYPE II SPECIAL STATUS BITS
Type II Motorola Smartnet systems use these status bits for special transmissions such as
emergency, patches, DES/DVP scrambled transmissions, and multiselects. Motorola trunking
radios directly interpret them for their special functions, thus no difference is noticed by the person
with the radio. The scanner however interprets these special talk group status bits as different talk
groups entirely. Below is the conversion chart for these special status bits.
TT ID + # Usage
TT ID + # Usage
ID+0 Normal Talk group
ID+8 DES/DVP Encryption talk group
ID+1 All Talk group
ID+9 DES All Talk group
ID+2 Emergency
ID+10 DES Emergency
ID+3 Talk group patch to another
ID+11 DES Talk group patch
ID+4 Emergency Patch
ID+12 DES Emergency Patch
ID+5 Emergency multi-group
ID+13 DES Emergency multi-group
ID+6 unassigned
ID+14 unassigned
ID+7 Multi-select ±initiated by dispatcher²
ID+15 Multi-select DES TG
Therefore, if a user was transmitting a multi-select call on talk group 1808, the scanner would
actually receive those transmissions on 1815.
Some common uses of these status bits are as follows:
When a user hits their emergency button, all conversations on the talk group revert to
the emergency status talk group (ID+2) until the dispatch clears the emergency status.
