Blocking bus traffic on the South trunk; and more Q?

[pcfd64 1]

Hi

Hopefully the experts here will be able to assist!

I have a BC 346XTC and use Freescan with Radio Ref tables to program it (that works real well).

2 questions to further tailor the unit for my needs:

A) I'm still getting bus traffic on the South trunk channel - I see the group IDs in the RR website but can't see any way either in Freescan or on the radio itself to block those IDs. Any help appreciated!

Ok, I'm an FDNY buff!. I programmed a system for FDNY freqs but can't really afford to listen to a channel held open nearly all day! I don't want to delete the whole system but would like to lock out the system (not channel by channel, pls) easily at the radio. Again, any help is appreciated

thx

A) you can't block specific IDs. if the buses are programed into the scanners as a separate group, you can go into the bus group and set a permanent lockout.

B ) Easy fix. Set a quick key (such as "1") for the system. Then if you want to listen to the system, you press "1" and the scanner scans the system. When you're done listening to the system, press "1" again and the scanner stops scanning the system.
