dooralarms,andtrafficsignals.Somesignalsareencrypted,aswell,andmostarenotvoicesignals.Sincealltheseareassigned
IDsjustlikeotherusers,youmaywanttolockoutreceptionoftheseIDsignals.Youcanlockoutupto100IDsatonetime.
WiththeEDACSpartialIDfeature,youcanprogramagenciesandfleets(inAFSformat)as1IDandlockthemout.
