What is the operation if those are enabled or disabled?
For RAS it would be a Search/On/Off selection to either have it detect the mode, as it stands now, or forced to always be on or off for that system.

For Enc it would be a Search selection to have it work as it does now. The Ignore/Off selection would force it to treat the system as never having any encrypted calls and would stay in the system even when encrypted calls are monitored and not mute. If a On function would be used it has to be done at a TG level which probably will involve too much work.

I could see this as only be available from the scanners menu with no added display info with Search being the default. The selection info would use 3 bits of a data byte that are already included in the system info data in a favorite file. Bit X00=Search. Bit XX1=Enc Off. Bit X1X=RAS Off. Bit 1XX=RAS On.

If it would be implemented in the remote commands and in Sentinel, a lot more work, it could need some more features but would break 3:rd party applications like ProScan and ARC.
If the display could indicate which mode have been selected and even when a mode have been detected would be helpful, as well as an additional AudioMute Yes/No selection for the Enc mode. The same indication as for other functions with inverse and blinking text/symbol could be used.

I have wanted this feature for a while.
