Motorola (Private Call) and EDACS (I-Call) are based on the individual 
radio IDs involved in the call, not a number arbitrarily assigned by the 
system.

For Moto private calls in the Bearcat scanners you can enter 700000 to 
get all private calls, or you can enter specific individual radio ID 
numbers. For EDACS press the decimal key followed by zero and enter.
