Turn the scanner off.2. Press and hold the number key that corresponds to the startup key when you turn the scanner on.3. Continue holding the number key until the scanner display shows the number of the startup key congurationWhen you use Startup Conguration, the scanner checks all Favorites Lists and:1. Favorites whose Startup Key matches the one the user pressed are changed to Monitor Status ON.2. Favorites whose Startup Key DOES NOT match the one the user pressed are changed to Monitor Status OFF.Caution: If you press the wrong key when you press the power key to set your startup conguration, and that wrong key doesn’t have any Favorites Lists assigned to that key, you will start up your scanner with all systems Avoided-Nothing to Scan.PRIORITY SCANNINGPriority 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.Priority ID Scan – This function is similar to conventional priority although there is no interruption during the transmission. 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. 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.The highest priority is for channels in System and Department Quick Key 0. The lowest priority is for channels in System and Department Quick Key 99. Priority for priority channels in the same channel Department follows the order in which the channels were created.
51To use Priority Scan, you must rst set your Priority Channels.To use Priority ID Scan, you must also enable Priority ID Scan for each system.To Toggle Priority Modes, press Func then ./no(Pri).PRIORITY SCAN OPTIONSPress Menu then scroll to Priority Scan and press E/yes.Set Priority Set Interval MaxChannels/Pri-ScanSet Priority – Sets the Priority mode. You can also toggle these modes by holding on any channel in scan mode and pressing Func then ./no(Pri).Off - The Priority feature is off. Priority DND - The scanner checks 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.1-10 sec.MaxChannels/Pri-Scan – This sets the maximum number of priority channels that are scanned during one priority scan interrupt. 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 100 priority channels, the scanner checks those 100 channels in groups of 20 and takes a total of 5 intervals to complete the priority scan. 1-100SCANNING BY ASSIGNING QUICK KEYSWith previous scanners, you selected banks to scan. With this scanner, you select Favorites List, and Systems, and Departments to scan by assigning Quick Keys to them. See also Understanding Quick Keys.Scanning is performed with a mixture of FLQK, SQK, and DQK order. The scanner will not scan all Systems in one Favorites List and then move to the next List. For each Favorites List, starting with 0, the scanner will scan each 0 SQK in FLQK order and then move to the next set of SQKs for each list. Example:FLQK 0, SQK 0; FLQK 1, SQK 0…. FLQK 98, SQK 99; FLQK 99, SQK, 99. Systems with the same quick key are scanned in order of creation.The Database is scanned next, in order of creation. Then, Systems with no quick key (including created Quick Save Systems) are scanned and in order of creation. Departments within Systems are also scanned the same as Systems.Conventional Channels within Systems are also scanned in order of creation.IDs are not really scanned. The scanner checks for any activity in the trunking system and:
52• Will display all IDs when ID Search mode is set to On. • Will display only programmed IDs when ID Search mode is set to Off.Next, any Custom Searches (enabled for Search with Scan) are scanned in order.Then, the scanner scans the Close Call ‘Hits with Scan’ system (if Unavoided). This is a system that automatically stores the frequencies found by Close Call. If the ‘Hits with Scan’ system has no frequencies, the scanner will not scan the system.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.Scanning Checklist:1. You must enable at least one Favorites List or the Full Database in Select Lists to Monitor.2. Favorites Lists, or Systems, or Departments with Quick Keys assigned to them, must be enabled with quick keys or through Manage Quick Key Status for Favorite Lists or Systems.3. Service Types required for channels must be set to On.Any Favorites List not assigned to a quick key, not Avoided, and set to On in Select – to Monitor will be scanned.Any Departments not assigned to a quick key and not Avoided will be scanned.Any System not assigned to a quick key and not Avoided, will be scanned.ScanningDirectionSystemNameFavorites List NameTimeandDateQuick Key forFavorites ListQuick Key forSystemDepartment NameScan ModeChannelNameFunction Tag Frequency CTCSS/DCS/NACSignal StrengthScan Receive

The second line on the display shows the decode threshold levels for the site.Allow the scanner to monitor the site or channel for several minutes. The error rate should drop for each transmission and the threshold levels should automatically adjust to a more optimal setting. Then, once the threshold level settles to a stable setting, make a note of the value. This is the site’s or channel’s optimum decode threshold.Press Func and rotate the Scroll Control to set the MAN decode threshold start level to a setting that most closely matches the system’s optimum decode threshold. Whatever you set at this point will be remembered for this site as the starting point for the auto-tuning function for subsequent transmission on site. See also P25 Threshold Level.USING A GPSLOCATIONBASED SCANNINGYou can connect the scanner to a compatible GPS device and set the scanner to automatically Avoid and Unavoid Departments and Sites based on your current location. This frees you from having to manually enable and disable Departments and Sites as you change locations.For the BCD436HP, use the 4-pin mini plug to connect to the scanner using a NMEA compatible GPS device. The BCD536HP has a 9-pin RS232 male serial connector and you should select a baud rate of (4800 bps) for the serial port.A good application of this feature would be to set the longitude and latitude for each multi-site system transmitter as usually you can receive at least a handful in any given location. Set the range to around 30 miles and the scanner will automatically Avoid or Unavoid Sites when in and out of range. It may also be relevant to set different locations/ranges for the Departments within the site.You can nd the physical location of antennas using the databases available at Radio Reference or the FCCs Antenna Structure Registration site.Both sites list the latitude, longitude, and height of the antenna and both sites can map the exact location for you. Once the scanner completes the initial GPS review, if you move into or out of an area covered by a Site/Department, the scanner will Avoid and Unavoid Sites and Departments according to Range settings for the scanner and Sites/Departments.If you cycle power, all Sites/Departments are Unavoided until the scanner reacquires the GPS signal and completes the initial GPS review. Note: If you unplug your GPS device or it loses reception to satellites, the scanner will use the last known location as the current location.See also Set Location to set your Location, Range, and relevant GPS options.See also Understanding Location Control and Understanding Range.All Sites/Departments with locations set and not within range of your current location will be temporarily Avoided.
61DISCOVERY MODETrunking Discovery mode allows you to monitor a trunked radio system, logging system channel activity and recording the audio for channels. Conventional Discovery mode lets you monitor a range of frequencies, logging frequencies with activity and recording the audio for frequencies that are not already known to be in use in your area so that you can more easily identify the users. This includes frequencies used conventionally as well as in trunked radio systems. In both modes, you also have the option to compare hits to the Database and log all hits or just new hits. If you use the Auto Store option, Discovery will create a new Trunking System for IDs found for each Session or will create a new Conventional System for frequencies found for each Session. You can create and save several sessions with different settings. Every time you start a session you create a Run that can later be reviewed in the scanner or the Sentinel software.NEW SESSIONPress Menu then scroll to Discovery and press E/yes.Scroll to Trunking Discovery or Conventional Discovery and press E/yes.Scroll to New Session and press E/yes.

You can set the scanner so the Close Call feature checks for a Close Call hit every 2 seconds in the background while you are scanning, searching, listening to the weather frequency, etc. or use Close Call Only mode. Close Call ‘Do-Not-Disturb’ will only check for close call signals when you are not receiving transmissions. You can also select the frequency band(s) to look for transmissions. When the scanner detects a Close Call hit, it alerts you according to the alert settings. ‘Hits with Scan’ is a special system that automatically stores the last 10 Close Call hits until you cycle power. The Close Call feature works well for locating the source of strong local transmissions such as mobile and handheld two-way radios in areas with no other strong transmission sources. Performance is increased with higher transmit power, a receive antenna tuned to the target band, and a low background RF level.The Close Call feature works better with some types of transmissions than others.It might not correctly display frequency information for transmitters using a highly directional antenna (such as an amateur radio beam antenna) or if there are many transmitters operating at the same time in the same area.

Then, you need to “Clear User Data” using Sentinel to restore all HP les and directories to the card.

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.

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. Therefore, if someone hit their emergency button and their radio was on talk group 16, all communications would switch to talk group 18.A lot of Fire and EMS departments dispatch tone-outs and alarms as Multi-select communications (ID+7). Therefore, if your re department dispatch talk group is 1616, and they do dispatch tone-outs and alarms as Multi-selects, then those communications will be on talk group 1623.WEATHER CHANNELSChannel Frequency Channel Frequency1162.550 5162.4502162.400 6162.5003162.475 7162.5254162.425ST Event Code Warning Watch Advisory Denition?ADR Administrative Message O Admin MessageAVA Avalanche Watch O AvalancheAVW Avalanche Warning O AvalancheBHW Biological Hazard Warning O BiologicalBWW Boil Water Warning O Boil WaterBZW Blizzard Warning O BlizzardCAE Child Abduction Emergency O Child EmergencyCDW Civil Danger Warning O Civil DangerCEM Civil Emergency Message O Civil EMGCFA Coastal Flood Watch O Coastal FloodCFW Coastal Flood Warning O Coastal Flood

86ST Event Code Warning Watch Advisory Denition?**W Unrecognized Warning O UnrecognizedContinuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) and Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) are two methods used to prevent interference by other radio communications. Your scanner can receive transmissions that use these codes. CTCSS and DCS systems all use some form of coded squelch. Coded squelch involves the transmission of a special code signal along with the audio of a radio transmission. A receiver with coded squelch only activates when the received signal has the correct code. This lets many users share a single frequency, and decreases interference caused by distant transmitters on the same channel. In all major metropolitan areas of the United States, every available radio channel is assigned to more than one user.CTCSS FREQUENCIESThe scanner can detect the following 50 CTCSS frequencies.67.0Hz 94.8Hz 131.8Hz 171.3Hz 203.5Hz69.3Hz 97.4Hz 136.5Hz 173.8Hz 206.5Hz71.9Hz 100.0Hz 141.3Hz 177.3Hz 210.7Hz74.4Hz 103.5Hz 146.2Hz 179.9Hz 218.1Hz77.0Hz 107.2Hz 151.4Hz 183.5Hz 225.7Hz79.7Hz 110.9Hz 156.7Hz 186.2Hz 229.1Hz82.5Hz 114.8Hz 159.8Hz 189.9Hz 233.6Hz85.4Hz 118.8Hz 162.2Hz 192.8Hz 241.8Hz88.5Hz 123.0Hz 165.5Hz 196.6Hz 250.3Hz91.5Hz 127.3Hz 167.9Hz 199.5Hz 254.1HzDCS CODES The scanner can detect the following hexadecimal DCS codes.006 031 054 116 145 205 245 266 332 411 452 506 612 703007 032 065 122 152 212 246 271 343 412 454 516 624 712015 036 071 125 155 214 251 274 346 413 455 523 627 723017 043 072 131 156 223 252 306 351 423 462 526 631 731021 047 073 132 162 225 255 311 356 431 464 532 632 732023 050 074 134 165 226 261 315 364 432 465 546 654 734025 051 114 141 172 243 263 325 365 445 466 565 662 743026 053 115 143 174 244 265 331 371 446 503 606 664 754
