Hi guys, finally broke down and got a 668. The USB is finicky with both my PCs, but I'll get around that somehow.
I'm now setting up playlists. I think I must be missing something, because there's NO WAY it can really be this klugey!!
-I added the Trunked Systems on the "Trunked Radio Systems" tab, excluding any TG's I will never ever want to listen to
-I then add the trunked system on the Playlists tab using "New Channel" --> Trunked Talkgroup, and then my only options on the next popup screen are "Add Wildcard" or "Add Talkgroup ID". I want to add individual Talkgroup IDs, but I would really expect some sort of secondary pulldown/popup menu so I can pick from the defined TGs WITHOUT having to know the individual TG ID! So I either have to write down or memorize the TG IDs I want in the playlist...seems extremely backward for software-based programming!
And if I select "wildcard", does it add all TGs in my list from the "Trunked Radio Systems" tab, or is it an open scan for every TG in the system?
One other oddity- I added the Trunked System all at once, but now I notice in the TG information the far right column shows what Playlists each TG is associated with. Seems like it picked some groups for different services (i.e. fire TGs seems to be on 153; PD on 152 or 169 etc.). It would be cool if I could edit a TGs "Playlists" from this view, but that doesn't seem feasible. I have gone through the "Easier to Read" software manual, but I haven't yet found anything that helps me here.
Thanks!
