Grouping Objects with Scan Lists
By default, new objects are automatically assigned to Scan List
01. Now that you have entered a variety of new objects that are,
by default, members of Scan List 01, you may want to separate
these objects into separate Scan Lists so that you can easily
enable or disable groups of objects as needed depending on
what you want to scan. There are 20 regular Scan Lists
available, a special “FAV” Scan List for one-button access to your
favorite Scannable Objects, and a Skywarn Scan List.
Although Scan Lists may seem similar to the “banks” that are
used in older bank/channel scanner designs, you will find that
they are much more powerful and flexible than “banks”. The
number of objects that can be grouped in a Scan List is limited
only by the scanner
ʼ
s memory, and single objects can be
members of multiple Scan Lists without creating duplicate
versions of those objects and manually placing them in each
Scan List where you want them included.
You can also mix and match different object types in Scan Lists
as you see fit. Feel free to group your objects in the manner that
best suits your listening style. If you choose to group your objects
by geographical area, and find that the best set of Scannable
Objects for your area includes a mix of trunked talkgroups and
conventional channels, go right ahead and put them all in the
same Scan List. There are no limitations as to the type of objects
that can exist together in the same Scan List.
How you group objects in Scan Lists is entirely up to you! Here
are some examples of how objects can be grouped:
Geographically
You may wish to group your Scannable Objects according to the
areas where they are used. For example, assume that you
