ways to monitor traffic on a trunked radio system. They are as
follows:
•
Wildcard Talkgroup
: will monitor all talkgroup call radio traffic
on the desired trunked radio system (press
Dflt
in the
ID:
field of the TGRP object to use Wildcard)
•
Talkgroup with TGID
: will only monitor talkgroup call radio
traffic on the specified TGID (enter the desired talkgroup in the
ID:
field of the TGRP object to scan a specified ID)
•
Wildcard Private Call
: will monitor all private call radio traffic
on the desired trunked radio system (press
Dflt
in the
TGID
field to get Wildcard, and set the Type field to
Private
)
•
Private Call with ID
: will only monitor private call radio traffic
on the specified TGID (enter the desired Radio ID in the
TGID
field, and set the Type field to
Private
)
NOTE:
Remember, by default all new objects are mapped to Scan List 01.
For now, just let your new objects go to the default Scan List 01.
Later in this section we will show you how you can group your
objects into Scan Lists.
Using DUPE to speed up object entry
DUPE is a powerful feature that will help you when entering
multiple objects that have similar characteristics. DUPE is
especially useful when entering multiple TGRP objects that are
hosted on the same trunked radio system, or multiple CONV
objects that have similar parameters or tag names. To use
DUPE, press the
PGM
key, then scroll to the object that you wish
to duplicate using the
keys on the 5-way pushbutton
pad. Press the
EDIT
softkey, then press the
DUPE
softkey. An
exact copy of the object you selected is created, and the scanner
displays the newly created object menu so you can change the
parameters that need to be changed prior to saving. Be sure to
change the tag name before saving your new object. When
finished, press the
SAVE
softkey to save the new object.
Try using the DUPE feature now to enter a few more CONV and
TGRP objects before continuing. You might consider using
DUPE on your wildcard TGRP object to make a duplicate, then
set the
Type
to
Private
, so youll have a TGRP wildcard for
talkgroup calls, and another for private calls.
