Using the Object ID to directly access an object
You can use this address to quickly access your stored objects when in the
Manual Mode and PGM modes. Press MAN or PGM, then key the Object ID
using the numeric keypad, then press ENT to go to that object. In the above
example, press MAN or PGM, then key 0348 ENT to jump directly to that
object.
Note that objects are not really “in” a Scan List, or Scan Lists. Objects are
“mapped” to Scan Lists, meaning that an object can be a member of one or
more Scan Lists. In the above example, 10-348 means that the object itself is
stored in memory address 0348, and is mapped to (at a minimum) Scan List
10, and, if you were to use the
56
keys to scroll up or down while viewing
Scan List 10, you will see all the other objects that are also mapped to Scan
List 10.
More About Wildcard Scanning
As mentioned previously, a Wildcard TGRP object allows you to receive all
radio traffic on a trunked radio system.
A Wildcard TGRP works by catching talkgroup calls on the system that are
not already stored as objects in the radio's 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 talk-
group 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.
