I downloaded BCTOOLS and paid for an upgrade on radioref so I can download the freqs, it seems to work good, i just dont know how I should organize them for easy access. I understand the quick key for the system but not for the sub systems... Example I want a system called Phoenix PD as #1 and then the areas under it such as West City, Central etc being other numbers... Or should I just do sites for them also?

This will mimick how the actual PD radios are setup. Back before the PRWN system came online channels 1-3 used to be 'chase 1-3'. This setup reflects that. Not to mention all of the precincts will be at there proper group key. This radio is perfect for setting up this system for easy monitering.

Ok if I am scanning a System such as System quick Key 1, how do I turn off / on grp keys? If I press 1 - 2 it only does it for the systems.

While holding down the FUNC button, press the GRP QK you desire.
