LNK - appears when data on a voice channel is being received.
DAT - appears when data on a control channel is being received.
ENC - appears when APCO P25 encrypted data is being received on a voice channel.

DAT appears on the display only when your locked on to a 9600 baud control channel - which is a exclusive P-25 system. If the scanner doesn't show DAT while locked onto a control channel, then it's mixed-mode system.
