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
talkgroup 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.
Displaying Memory Usage
Your scanner can report how much free memory is available for new
objects, and show how much memory has been used, and how the
memory is allocated to different types of objects. To display the memory
usage report, use the power-on shortcut by pressing 0, then 0 again while
the Welcome/Owner screen is displayed just after the radio is powered on,
or, press PROG, then the
GLOB
softkey to access the Global configuration
menu, then scroll down using the
6
key until
Memory Info:SEL
appears in the display. Press SEL to view the memory usage report. Use
the
56
keys to scroll the display.
Search Object Types
A very powerful feature of your PSR-410 is the ability to define different
types of frequency searches and process them while scanning. Frequency
searches are just another type of Scannable Object in the hierarchy of the
radio's memory organization, so they can be manipulated and scanned in
the same manner as conventional channels and trunking talkgroups.
There are several different types of frequency searches available in your
scanner.
