Special note for 8.21: This version now embraces a slightly different concept for "open" and "closed" modes with respect to trunking systems. When a trunk bank is open, and an ID is received that is NOT listed in the ID list, the ID is scanned normally. In closed mode, IDs are not scanned UNLESS they are in the ID list. In either case (open or closed), if an ID is found in the ID list, the lockout status stored in the ID list entry ontrols if the ID is scanned or not. As a by-product of this, a seperate lock out list for open mode is no longer used. Changes in V8.20 ---------------- 1. Added pause and continue buttons to band scope and spectrum analyzer. 2.
