27Understanding ScanningH = Home repeater (01 through 20)U = User ID (000 through 254)When the scanner receives a transmission on a channelset to the LTR mode, it first decodes the LTR data includedwith the transmission. In the ID search mode, the scannerstops on the transmission and displays the talk group ID onthe display. In the ID scan mode, the scanner only stopson the transmission if the LTR data matches a talk groupID that you have stored in the talk group ID list and havenot locked out. LTR systems are frequently programmedso that each radio has a unique user ID.I-Call (Motorola/EDACS)I-calls are direct unit-to-unit transmissions that are notheard by other system users. Your BC246T can receiveI-call transmissions. See “Setting I-Call (Motorola andEDACS Systems Only)” on Page 68 for moreinformation about monitoring I-call transmissions.Where To Get More InformationBy itself, this manual really only provides part of what youneed to know to have fun scanning – how to program anduse the scanner.The Internet is a great source for current frequencies andinformation about scanning. Many web sites have lists offrequencies for your area. You can use a search engine tofind and use them.Make a list of the agencies you want to listen to, then lookup the frequencies and systems used by those agencies.Here are a few useful sites:• http://www.scannermaster.com * - frequencyresources and home of Police Call.
