About Object Numbering
Your PSR-410 is different from other types of scanners in how it stores
your Scannable Objects in memory. Instead of fixed channels and banks,
objects are stored in the first available block of free memory and assigned
an Object ID. The Object ID is the “address” where the object is stored in
memory.
The Object ID is displayed as a four digit number in the upper left-hand
corner of the display whenever an object is selected in Manual Mode and
Program modes, and when the scanner stops on an active object while
scanning. Additionally, the current Scan List number is displayed prior to
the Object ID when an object is selected in Manual Mode or PGM mode, i.e.,
10-0348
indicates Object ID 0348 mapped to Scan List 10.
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 Program modes. Press MAN or PROG, then key the
Object ID using the numeric keypad, then press ENT to go to that object.
In the above example, press MAN or PROG, 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.
