Hi all,Since there are no scanners available that can track an LTR
Multi-Net radio system, I devised a theory that I can get the
780 to scan these systems with the least amount of disruption
caused by the open-carriers (control channels) associated with
these types of systems.
1. Program the frequencies in CONVENTIONAL mode, by repeater.
2. Set NO delay on the voice frequencies.
3. Set a DELAY of "-2 Seconds" on the control channel.
4. Press [SCAN] to get the scanner going.
That's it. The delay of -2 seconds will periodically check the
control channel for voice activity. Since the negative delay
setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after 2
seconds (regardless if a transmission was complete or not),
this will basically have no effect on the scanner getting
stuck monitoring a channel with no voice activity on it.
When the control channel is replaced by a voice during that
transmission, press the [MANUAL] key to listen to that
particular transmission. Press [SCAN] to get the scanner going
once again.
As far as scanning the voice channels - set NO delay...it'll
scan them just fine.
I've tested this out on the Honolulu EDACS system (as if it were
a Multi-Net II system), by setting the control channel with a
negative delay, and setting no delay on the voice frequencies -
it worked like a charm! Good luck and happy scanning!
