[TrunkCom] status bit functions on the newer Uniden scanners

[DB Nicholson]

Is there a way to turn of the status bit on an 895?  The local pd smartzone 
trunk leaves them on 99% of the time (8644 displays as 8647).  I vaguely 
remember a discussion several years ago about reprogramming the fleet map to 
accomplish this.

btw - I was at one of the sites for the CMPD trunk yesterday & happened to 
notice that a tech's van was parked outside their compound.  Being the 
curious type, I figured WTH, let's see if they will give me a dog & pony 
show.  One of the tech's called his sup on the nextel and was told that it's 
not open to the public!
 - That really ticked me off as my tax dollars paid for that system.  Anyone 
have a similar experience?
