basis. Trunking ID delay specifies the amount of time the scanner dwells on the control channel looking for reply traffic on the previous talkgroup before resuming scan operation.
Customizing the trunked ID delay may be useful if you are missing a lot of reply traffic on a particular system. We recommend starting with the default value of 2.0
seconds.

Clearing All Talkgroup
IDs in One Bank
You can clear all talkgroup IDs within a bank. This lets you quickly delete all talkgroup IDs from a bank if you want to use the bank to store different data (such as a new set of talkgroup IDs).

HINTS
Ó
• Most Motorola trunking systems include a “hang time” where the channel remains assigned to a talkgroup for a short period after the user unkeys their microphone. This hang time is typically
1.5 seconds but can vary among different systems. The scanner’s trunked delay function begins after this hang time expires.
Therefore, the total amount of delay present after a user unkeys their microphone equals the trunking system hang time, plus any trunked ID delay that you have programmed into the scanner. For example, if you wish to wait a total of two seconds for a reply trunked call, and the system you are monitoring is using
1.5 seconds of hang time, you should set the trunked delay for that system to 0.5
seconds. EDACS systems do not employ hang time.
• Conventional channel delay is fixed at 2 seconds and is controlled independently of trunked ID delay.

Delay Function” on
Page 66 for more information.
