45 Locking Out I D s As with conv ention al scanni ng, it is possi ble to lock out unwante d t raffic . This is part icul arly i mportant in trun k- ed syst ems because si gnals yo u cannot lis t en to ( such as water meters, door alarms, traf fic si gnals , and en- crypt ed signals ) are as signed ID s just lik e other user s.
46 Using T runk T racking Scan Delay Many t runked systems h ave a per iod of 2 or more sec- onds bet ween a query and a re ply. You can pr ogram a 5-secon d delay to h old on an ID f or 5 seconds to wait for a reply.
