17 S-CODE	Signal Code - PTT-ID DTMF Code Selection (set with S/W) - Selects one of 15 DTMF codes. - Set with software and are up to 5 digits each. - Enabled by using Menu 19.	1 > 15 groups
18 SC-REV	Scan Resume Method -- TO (Time Operation) Scan stops when signal detected. Scan resumes after approximately 5 seconds (even if the channel is still active). -- CO (Carrier Operation) Scan stops when signal detected. Scan resumes when signal disappears. -- SE (Search Operation) Scan stops when signal detected. Scanning will not resume.	TO / CO / SE
19 PTT-ID	When to send the PTT ID signal code OFF - No ID is sent. BOT - An ID is sent at Beginning of Transmission END - An ID is sent at the End of Transmission. BOTH - An ID is sent at BOT and EOT - This tells a dispatcher which field radio was keyed. - Not Applicable for Ham use. Set to OFF.	OFF / BOT / EOT / BOTH
