whats the best end code setting for Fleetnet?

whats the best end code setting for Fleetnet listening (yes or ignore)?
I believe a old post said something about it in the past but I cant find the answer.

Thanks

I have mine on yes/detect...It basically makes the ID's appear properly if I remember correctly

EDIT: I have gotten the end code and status bit mixed up...my bad...
if the end code is YES - then the scanner returns to the CC when the end code is transmitted
if the end code is IGNORE - then the scanner will return when the carrier drops..(I am assuming this is shortly after the end code is sent)

If you have it set on ignore, then you don't hear the white noise (static) after the radio is finished keying up. If you have it on, then you'll hear the static.

Never heard of it being able to show ID's properly or anything like that before.

I keep mine on ignore all the time.

You have that backwards,

Detect means it will mute the receiver and switch back to the Control Channel when the end code is heard, kind of like what reverse burst does on a conventional radio.

Ignore means it will stay on that voice channel until the carrier is dropped and you will hear the squelch burst as the receiver closes.

The most efficient and pleasing to the ears is to have the scanner detect the end code.

Hmmm, wonder how I got that mixed up. Either which way, I double checked with what you said, and yep, Terry is correct. Guess I'll go back and change my files again.

As you said, it is a lil nicer on the ears. No kerchunk.......

thanks everybody for your assistance.. thats ansewrs my question

So to ask the stupid question. Why the heck would you want to ever have the ability to ignore it?

Well, since these are not "real" radios we are talking about, what
happens if interference knocks out the end code...so you're sitting
on an idle voice channel waiting for the next transmission. Besides
maybe some of us (no accounting for taste) like that squelch tail.

Well, you would think Uniden would have had the foresight for that. On a Motorola radio, if for whatever reason it doesn't detect an end-code, when it stops hearing the low speed data on the voice channel, it assumes it didn't hear the end-code, and returns to the control channel. Uniden radios are already capable of watching for the low speed trunking data, so why not just use that as an indicator of a terminated transmission?
