780 & ICalls

[K5MAR]

OK, I know I've seen this before, but a search on here doesn't turn it up, so here goes. I entered the 700000 TG ID in my 780 so I could hear the ICalls (if any) on the State of Okla. SmartZone system. Today I'm getting alot of stops on TG 720425, but no audio. I understand that this ID actually is 2042X, with the last number being the status bit, and that there are some that I won't be able to hear, such as telephone interconnects. But I can't find the list of these status bits to check and see if the last number (5 in this case) corresponds to one of those that I can't monitor.

Can anybody help here? Am I basically right, or did I miss an essential fact when setting this up. I'm relatively new to trunking, as the nearest state site (or any, for that matter) is 30+ miles away, so I read alot of stuff I didn't pay attention to at the time. And (of course), now that I need it, I can't find it. Perhaps a trunking guru would consider putting this in the Waikiki, er-Wiki, there's nothing there at this time. :lol:

Thanks!

Thanks, Frank! Obviously, I looked under the wrong heading in the wiki. I went to the Trunking Faq and looked at Motorola there, should have tried the other.

Welcome to the forum.

I am currently listening to both sides on a 785D, it's flipping back and forth from 760555 and 760386. But both sides of the conversation are working.

Sure there is Mark, you just got to look harder... Wiki Link, and honest, it has been there for a while. :lol:

To slightly re-direct this thread, I have been using the ".0" method via my ARC780 software and I never get I-Calls unless I switch from Scan to Search. This is consistent whether I'm monitoring a Type II system or an EDACS system.

What am I doing wrong?
