Using Open and Closed Modes

Where possible, the preloaded data includes talkgroup IDs

and text labels for public safety talkgroups. Non-public

safety talkgroups are not included, such as those used for

local government services.

You can use your scanner’s open and closed modes to

determine which talkgroups the scanner will receive. All

preloaded systems are programmed for open mode

operation by default, so you can hear all of the traffic on the

systems you monitor, including talkgroups that have not

been entered into the ID list. If a bank is set to closed

mode, the scanner will only receive talkgroups that are

specifically programmed into the ID list.

You can lock out undesired talkgroups by pressing the

L/OUT key while the talkgroup is active. This may be

necessary to block the reception of talkgroups that carry

data messages or traffic that is not of interest to you. When

you lock out a talkgroup in this manner, the radio stores the

undesired ID in the ID list and locks it out at the same time.

This will block traffic on the locked out talkgroup in both

open and closed modes.

Open and closed mode status for the current bank is

toggled by pressing FUNC, then 5. For more information

on open and closed mode operation, see “Open and

Closed Mode Operation” in your Owner’s Manual.

When scanning trunked systems in open mode, you can

press TRUNK to automatically store new talkgroup IDs in

the ID list. This will allow you to scan the new talkgroups

you find when operating in closed mode. When you store

talkgroups IDs this way, the scanner assigns a text label

automatically, consisting of the talkgroup ID. You can

change this default talkgroup ID by pressing PROG, then

TRUNK, then scroll to the ID you wish to label, then press

TEXT and update the label using the keypad. Refer to

“Storing Talkgroup IDs” and the “Text Input Chart” in your

Owner’s Manual for more information.
