Pro 197 Wildcard

kf5bti · Oct 30, 2015

I am using a Pro 197 to scan the Mississippi MSWIN P25 system. I currently have all talk groups form the RR database programmed. If I want to look for new talkgroups that are not in the RR system do I have to use a wildcard in my talkgroups?

how is this entered on the 197?

Are you using software, or using the keypad?

ARC500 software trial currently.

That is the only one I'm not familiar with. However, I would think that it would be done the same as other talk groups. Instead of a number, select or enter wildcard.

would the wildcard me simply a * ?

Give it a try. As I mentioned, I have no experience with ARC software. I have PSR Edit and have tried Win 500. Perhaps someone here that has experience with ARC will chime in.

If you create a new talkgroup using the key pad on the scanner, it will be a wildcard. Once it is created, you need to select the correct system.

It is listed in the talk group category as an asterisk.

The person who owns ProgramPro197(dot)com was able to help me with mine.

It is just an asterisk.
