STATUS BITS
Refer to your scanner manual on how to activate the status bit talkgroups. This is useful
if you just what to monitor the system for certain types of transmissions without monitoring
the rest of the traffic on the talkgroup.

Example: Talkgroup 272 is the Sheriff's East Dispatch channel. With the scanner in status bit
mode, enter 279 instead of 272 and you will only hear BOLO's (Be On The Lookout), alerts etc.
without hearing all the rest of the communications on the channel.
