Tag for the channel.

Toggling the Status Bit
Motorola talkgroup ID’s are sent as a 16-bit binary number.
Normally, the last 4 positions in the number are 0’s, which
result in all talkgroups being equally divisible by 16. These
last four bits, however, can be used by the trunking system to
indicate various status conditions. For example, an
emergency status could be indicated by setting the second-
from last digit to 1. Talkgroup 33264, then would be sent on
the system as 33266 when the radio triggered its emergency
status. By default, the BC296D ignores the last four digits of
every talkgroup, effectively rounding them down to the nearest
multiple of 16 regardless of the status bits.
2:SCAN OPTION → 2:TRUNK → Select the bank
→ 9:STATUS BIT
1:ON
Talkgroups are rounded down to the next multiple of
16.
2:OFF
Talkgroups are not rounded down, so you can
determine the value of the status bits.
