A Wildcard TGRP works by catching talkgroup calls on the
system that are not already stored as objects in the radios
memory.
In order for the Wildcard TGRP to function properly, the radio
needs to be in SCAN mode. This is what enables the scanner to
find the previously stored TGRP objects that need to be checked
before declaring that the found talkgroup is new and should be
scanned as a Wildcard “hit”.
If you park on a Wildcard TGRP object in MAN mode, the
scanner is not able to “see” the previously stored TGRP objects,
and every call on the trunked radio system will come up as a
wildcard hit.
Displaying Memory Usage
Your scanner can report how much free memory is available for
new objects, and, show how much memory has been used, and
how the memory is allocated to different types of objects. To
display the memory usage report, use the power-on shortcut by
pressing
0
, then
0
again while the Welcome/Owner screen is
displayed just after the radio is powered on, or, press
PGM
, then
the
GLOB
softkey to access the Global configuration menu, then
scroll down using the
key until
Memory Info:SEL
appears
in the display. Press
SEL
to view the memory usage report. Use
the
keys to scroll the display.
Search Object Types
A very powerful feature of your
0716
is the ability to define
different types of frequency searches and process them while
scanning. Frequency searches are just another type of
Scannable Object in the hierarchy of the radios memory
organization, so they can be manipulated and scanned in the
same manner as conventional channels and trunking talkgroups.
There are several different types of frequency searches available
in your scanner.
