FreeScan trunked system quick keys

[powerhouse]

How can you specify the system quick key when creating trunked sites?
There is a drop down box for setting a system quick key for conventional systems and there are drop down boxes for specifying group quick keys within a trunked system but I can't find anywhere to specify a system quick key for a trunked system.
I must have overlooked something somewhere.

I've tried creating a whole new set of sites to upload to the scanner but all of my trunked systems had no system quick key assigned to them so it became impossible to monitor and segregate them effectively.
Eventually, I downloaded my 396T setup into FreeScan and then uploaded that into the 396XT but I would like to start over from scratch for the most current information.

Thanks

The QK's seem to be "Site QK's" for trunk systems. Highlight each site and assign each site the same quick key. That key will then essentially be a "System QK".

I've just tried again and I found an option in the "import" section for trunked systems. On the options tab there is a drop down box to select system quick keys and I reset up all of my systems again but when I uploaded this new profile to the scanner everything was again out of order and systems were all mixed and matched. I had to upload my original 396T set up again to get things how I want them.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Expand one of your trunked systems. There should be a line highlighted in yellow showing a number, the type of system, and the name. Click on that line and one of the options to the right will be a drop down box to assign a Quick Key. Be sure to save after making changes.

Thanks Mike

However, I've tried to do what you said but when I expand a trunked system there are no highlighted lines in yellow so I still can't assign a system quick key.

Click on View * Highlight * Trunk Sites and they will show up in yellow. Those are your trunk sites, you can set the quick key by clicking on them and then setting it on the resulting screen.

Thanks cpuerror

That's what I was missing plus the fact that the trunked site is "indented" like the groups would be is where my confussion was. I assumed the name next to the + sign would be the trunked site and that's where I've been trying to assign a quick key to.
I've used ARC programs in the past and I think that's how it is with those programs.(I could be wrong though).
I'll have to play around with this some more.
I've been working on this since 5:00 am this morning and I'm getting bleary eyed.

Thanks again.
