Try using the DUPE feature now to enter a few more CONV and TGRP objects 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 experiment 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 created so you can select just one to monitor.
To activate Scan Mode, just press the SCAN key on the keypad. Unless you have explicitly changed Scan
List membership, all of the objects you have entered so far should be mapped to Scan List 01, and your
scanner should begin scanning these objects immediately when you press the SCAN key. The scanner
display indicates Scan Mode as follows:
illust
Study the two rows under the “Scanning” display. Each space represents the status of a Scan List in your
radio. The top row of numbers represents Scan Lists 1 through 10, and the bottom row represents Scan
Lists 11 through 20. Unless you have already enabled other Scan Lists in your radio, you will only see the
number “1” in the top row. All of the other spaces contain “.” symbols, which indicates that these other Scan
Lists are currently not enabled.
If you have included one or more TGRP objects in your programming, and are within range of the trunked
radio system for those TGRPs, you will see the T icon flash periodically while the radio is scanning. The T
icon indicates that the scanner is receiving control channel data from a trunked radio system.
To pause the scanner on an active object so that the scanner does not resume scanning, press the PSE
(Pause) key while the scanner is stopped on that object, and press PSE or SCAN to resume scanning.
Alternatively, you may press MAN to monitor an active object. Although PSE and MAN both stop the
scanner on the active object, there are some small differences in how they operate. PSE pauses the
scanner but keeps the scanner in scan mode, resulting in faster stop/start operation. MAN stops scan
mode completely, and allows you to browse the file system to select other objects to monitor.
