ogrammed
with the fr

Each V
-Scanner folder can hold up to 1800
“scannable objects,” gr

Scan Lists. Each V
-Scanner folder can contain
appr
oximately 20 individual trunked radio
systems, or sites within networked systems,
leaving r

ogramming.
The pr
epr
ogrammed data in your scanner contains
the top public safety trunked radio systems in the
United States, those that ar
e most likely to carry
local radio traffic that is of inter
est to many users.
Non-public safety systems, airport systems, transit
systems, federal systems, military systems, and
lar
ge statewide trunked radio networks ar
e not
included in the pr
epr
ogrammed data.
The pr
epr
ogrammed data contains the talkgr

that ar
e used for day-to-day public safety
dispatch, r
esponse, and operations activities.
Administrative talkgr

It is not possible to include every trunked radio
system and talkgr
oup in the United States in
the pr
epr
ogrammed data. If the systems in your
ar
ea ar
e not pr
esent, you may find it useful to
visit
www
.radior
efer
ence.com to find your local
system so that you can add it to the radio’
s
pr
ogramming. Y
ou can also pr
ogram a “wildcar
d”
talkgr
oup that will allow you to hear all activity on
the trunked radio systems that you monitor
.
The easiest way to add a wildcar
d talkgr
oup is to
duplicate a talkgr
oup that is alr
eady pr
ogrammed
for the system, change the pertinent data for that
talkgr
oup (in this case, the ID and the T
ag), then
save the duplicated (and changed) talkgr
oup as a
new object.
1.
Pr
ess
PGM (PROG),
then use the
STWX
keys to navigate to any talkgr
oup on the
system wher
e you wish to add a talkgr
oup or
wildcar
d.
2.
Pr
ess the

softkey
, then pr

softkey
. A duplicate of the selected object is
cr
