radio system that uses the 3600
baud control channel. Use

table information over the system control channel. Use P25
MANUAL if it is necessary to
manually set the channel table
information or if you wish to use
the default 800 MHz table data.
Use EDACS STD for most 800
MHz EDACS systems using the
9600 BPS EDACS control channel. Use EDACS NAROW for
most 900 MHz and some VHF/
UHF EDACS systems using the
4800 BPS EDACS control channel. Use LTR for Logic Trunked

Multi-Site
Off,
Roam or
Stat
(Stationary)
Used with networked Motorola
and P25 trunked radio systems. When Multi-Site=Off,
the scanner will find the first
usable control channel in the
control channel list and use
it to track the system. When
Multi-Site=Roam, the scanner
will always attempt to lock on
to control channels where the
decoding quality is greater than
Threshold Hi, and will search for
new control channels when the
decoding quality of a control
channel drops below Threshold
Lo. If no control channels are
available that meet the Threshold Hi criteria, the scanner will
seek the best control channel to
use, and continue checking periodically for a new control channel that meets the Threshold Hi
criteria. When Multi-Site=STAT,
the scanner will track the system
using every usable control channel in the control channel list.

Appendix C: Text Entry and QuickText
Your scanner uses a simple text entry method
that allows entry of all uppercase and lowercase
letters of the alphabet, numbers, and punctuation
symbols. Your scanner also features QuickText,
which allows you to store up to 10 commonly
used text items for instant recall while editing
alphanumeric fields.
Text Entry
To enter a letter in an alphanumeric text field,
press the number key below the letter you wish
to type first, then press the number key that
corresponds with the position of the letter in the
silk screen group.
For example, the number 2 is used to access the
letters A, B and C. To type the letter A, press 2
to select the ABC group, then 1 to select the first
letter in the group. Likewise, to type the letter
B, press 2 to select the ABC group, then press
2 again to select the second letter in the group.
And, to type the letter C, press 2, then 3 to select
the third letter in the group.
• To enter numbers in alphanumeric text fields,
press 1 first, then the number you wish to
type.
• To enter punctuation, press 0 first to see
the first set of punctuation, then press the
number key that corresponds with the
position of the desired punctuation mark in
the set.
• To enter a space, press the . (period) key to
enter a SPACE.
• While using Standard Text Entry, the FUNC
key serves as a shift key.
125
Text Entry
• For letters, uppercase text is typed by
default, and you can shift to lowercase by
pressing FUNC before entering a character.
• For punctuation, FUNC accesses a second
set of punctuation marks. The shift action of
FUNC remains active until it is pressed again.
• Press  or  to move the cursor to the
desired location in edit fields. Press
FUNC  or FUNC  to move the cursor to

QuickText
QuickText allows you to store up to 10 commonly
used text items for instant recall while editing
alphanumeric fields. For example, as you search,
store, and name new CONV or TGRP objects,
you may find that you type the same words over
and over, such as POLICE, FIRE, SHERIFF, STATE,
CITY, COUNTY, etc.
• A few common QuickText words are provided
for your convenience. You can keep these,
edit them to your preferences, or replace
them with your own custom QuickText words.
• QuickText can be used while editing any
alphanumeric text field.
To insert a stored QuickText item:
1.
While editing an alphanumeric text field,
press  or  to position the cursor where
you want the QuickText inserted, then press
the QTXT softkey.
The top row of the display will show the
available QuickText phrases.
2.
Press p or q to scroll through the stored
QuickText phrases, and press SEL to insert
the QuickText phrase at the cursor location.
As a shortcut, press the number key on the
numeric keypad that corresponds with the
QuickText item you wish to use, instead of
scrolling and pressing SEL.
Customizing QuickText
To edit the QuickText words:
1.
Press PGM, then the GLOB softkey.
127
Text Entry
2.

4.
Use the standard text entry method to enter
your desired text.
Note: When you use your QTXT entry in a text
field, any unused spaces will be filled with space
characters. If you want to leave room for adding
text, enter a space after your QTXT, then a dollar
sign ($). When you use your QTXT in a text field,
and the edit cursor will be positioned just after
the space so you can continue adding text to the
text field.
5.
Once you are finished editing your QTXT
storage location, press the SAVE softkey to
save the QTXT.
6.
