Trunking Talkgroup Objects (TGRP)

A Trunking Talkgroup Object (TGRP) is a record that stores the

parameters for a trunked talkgroup on a trunked radio system.

A TGRP object allows you to scan and monitor a talkgroup on a

particular trunked radio system.

Essential Parameters

As a standalone object, a TGRP object is similar to a CONV object.

However, for trunking to work, the trunking system (TSYS) and the

talkgroup ID must be speciﬁed. We also recommend that you label

your TGRP object by giving it a name in the TAG ﬁeld, making it

easier to ﬁnd the TGRP object later, and identifying it when the

scanner stops to monitor activity.
