P25 Waiting Time (BCD996XT and BCD396XT Only)
When searching in a band that has a mix of analog and digital signals (i.e., where the
Audio Mode is set to All), it is possible to have false decode problems that results in
digital noise at the beginning of transmissions. To prevent this, a user-configurable P25
wait time (from 0 to 1000 ms) has been added.
During the wait time, the scanner evaluates the received signal; if it detects P25 data, the
scanner opens squelch immediately. If it does not detect any P25 data, the scanner opens
squelch as soon as the wait time expires.
Note: Any analog transmissions on this channel will lose the first part of
the transmission, up to the wait time you set here.
Select the number of milliseconds (after the start of a transmission) the scanner should
wait while checking for P25 data. Choose a number from 0 through 1000 ms in 100 ms
increments. The scanner only applies the wait time when Tone/Code Search in Srch/
CloCall Opt is set to Off.
