Jeff;
700000 is simply the number Uniden came up with to allow the user to
plug in a magic number to put an "all private call" ID in their scan
list rather than a specific ID. I don't remember the procedure for EDACS
systems.
Moto uses 7 as the ID prefix for private calls on a Motorola system,
just as 8 is the prefix for talkgroup decimal notation. Moto did this to
keep the two distinct since they often overlap (there can be both a
talkgroup 101 and a radio ID 101, for example, so to keep them separate
the decimal talkgroup is listed as 800101 and the radio ID is listed as
700101).
