Radio Shack PRO-94 - Turning On;Off the Motorola Disconnect Tone Detect Function

62
Turning On/Off the Motorola Disconnect
Tone Detect Function
While trunking a Motorola system, your scanner auto-
matically tunes to the data channel when it detects a
disconnect tone (a code that tells the trunking system
that the transmitter has finished sending) on the voice
channel.
You can manually turn off this function so the scanner
does not tune to the data channel under those condi-
tions. You might use this feature to listen to weak trans-
missions when conversations are generally
disconnected.
To turn the disconnect tone detect function on or off, set
the scanner to trunk track then press
SVC
. The scanner
beeps and
DATA
flashes for about 5 seconds.
Notes:
• To set the scanner so it remains on the voice chan-
nel (even when a disconnect tone is transmitted or
there is no signal at all) set
SQUELCH
so you hear
a hissing.
• You cannot use the disconnect tone detect function
if you are programming a trunking frequency or a
fleet map.
To set the scanner to automatically tune to the data
channel once again when it detects a disconnect tone,
press
SVC (E)
.
