I finally have a new radio to replace my 246T. After moving to Minnesota I was unable to use due to P25. I now have a 396XT and am doing the programming for it. I think I have the structure of ARMER figured out, or at least enough to get by for now. I do have some questions though.
1) For lack of better example, lets say I wanted to monitor the public works departments for St. Paul, Minneapolis, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. I've attached an image of the way I have it setup. I've pulled what I think is needed for this. I have a System with 5 sites in it and I have 4 groups created with the talkgroup ids in it. Is this the proper way to do this? Also, I know I have 5 sites and only 4 groups but not sure which site is not needed. Is there a benefit to doing this all within one system rather than across a couple?
2) I've read a lot of material here and it seems to be the consensus that talkgroups are pretty much identified for any of the higher traffic ones in ARMER, specifically in Hennepin, Minneapolis, etc. I am still seeing quite a few IDs show up that i'm not even seeing listed in the RR DB. Am I doing something wrong or is there in fact a lot of IDs not identified in the DB?
