• 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 de-
sired trunked radio system (press
Dflt
in the
TGID
field to get Wild-
card, 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
3456
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 ob-
jects before continuing. You might consider using DUPE on your wildcard
TGRP object to make a duplicate, then set the Type to Private, so you'll have
a TGRP wildcard for talkgroup calls, and another for private calls.
NOTE: Use caution with DUPE. As soon as you press
DUPE
, a duplicate of
the selected object is created and saved in memory. Be certain to delete any
DUPEd objects that you create accidentally.
Basic Scanning Operation
Now that you have entered a few CONV or TGRP objects you can experi-
ment with Scan and Manual operation.
Activating Scan Mode will cause your scanner to scan through all Scannable
Objects that are members of enabled Scan Lists and are not locked out.
Manual Mode allows you to browse the Scannable Objects you have cre-
