Toggling the Status Bit
On Type II trunking systems there is a method by which
specialized types of communications utilize unique talk
group numbers. An emergency call will occur on a unique
talk group from its primary assignment, for example.
BecausetheUBC245XLTdefaultstoStatus-BitOnmode,
you never need to worry about missing these
transmissions. If you’ve programmed talk group 33264 into
Scan List memory, for example, and there is an emergency
call within the group, you will hear it on 33264. The only
time you may wish to turn Status Bits off is if you’re trying
to figure out the proper fleet map of a Type 1 trunking
system. To turn Status Bits off, press and hold for two
seconds while in the Motorola system you wish to adjust.
(This feature does not apply to EDACS

operation within
the scanner.) Then use or to change the
setting (on to off) and press to program your change.
