Over the next few days I’m going to have a few noobie questions so please forgive me if I ask a question that I made have missed in my forum searches.

Just bought a Pro-97 for use around South Carolina. My primary focus is SCHP.
I’ve found the control channels I need for the three Troops I’m interested in following and also have the talk group ID’s I need for each post.

Troop 01 A B C D DPS1/SHEP
Troop 04 A B C D
Troop 07 A B C

I understand there are multiple towers in each of the troops, each with it’s own control channel.

Here’s the scenario…
I plan on entering all the control channels for each Troop with each Troop’s Post ID Tags in Bank 0.

Here’s the big question…

1. How does the Pro-97 deal with this action?
2. Will it pull control channel from the closest tower with the strongest signal?
3. Will I be able to move through the state and listen to the Troop for that area without having to make a manual change of tower selection?

Secondary question…

1. Can I program like control channels in different closed banks then just turn on or off these banks when I want SO PD Fire or EMS?
2. Sample idea…

• Bank 0 SCHP Troops T01 T04 & T07
• Bank 1 Columbia/Richland Fire (same control channel as T01D)
• Bank 2 Richland County SO (same control channel as T01D)
• Bank 3 Richland EMS (same control channel as T01D)
• Bank 4 Lexington Fire (same control channel as T01C)
• Bank 5 Lexington EMS (same control channel as T01C)

Thanks in advance....
