Organizing Objects
Grouping Objects with Scan Lists
By default, new objects are automatically
assigned to Scan List 01. You can divide these
objects into separate Scan Lists so that you
can easily enable or disable groups of objects
depending on what you want to scan.
The number of objects that can be grouped in a
Scan List is limited only by the scanner’s memory,
and single objects can be members of multiple
Scan Lists.
There are 20 regular Scan Lists available, a special
“FAV” Scan List for one-button access to your
favorite Scannable Objects, and a Skywarn Scan
List.
You can also mix and match different object
types in Scan Lists as you see fit. There are no
limitations as to the type of objects that can exist
together in the same Scan List.
How you group objects in Scan Lists is entirely up
to you. Here are some examples of how objects
can be grouped:
Geographically: You may wish to group your
Scannable Objects according to the areas where
they are used. This may be useful if you use your
scanner while traveling.
By trunking system: It is possible to assign any
combination of object types to any Scan List.
However, you may wish to assign TGRP objects
associated with specific trunked radio systems
to specific Scan Lists, so you can easily enable or
disable monitoring of each system by enabling or
disabling the associated Scan List.
By object type: It may be desirable to segregate
object types by assigning them to specific Scan
