User Manual

PSR-410 O/Manual
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 ^v 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.
illust
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.
