Im using a new 996p2 with freescan and the rr subscription. I was able to import my counties P25 system from RR.

Is the import plug and play or do I have to manually configure any settings in my new system/groups besides assigning keys to them?

Another question I have....

with freescan the alpha tags are in the "display" column.... however sometimes when a channel pops up on the scanner I am getting an ID number displayed on the scanner....

First row would be the P25 site as I named it
second shows ID: then the number

how do I toggle this so I see an alpha tag instead?

In "Scan Mode" the scanner will only stop on TGs you have programmed.

If you are in "Search Mode" it will display what you have programmed and all other TGs on the system, which is probably the ID: XXXXX you are seeing.

This is correct. You are in search mode and those items coming up with just an ID number are talkgroups that you do not have programmed.

thank you.... I was unclear about the difference of scan/search... now that makes sense to me. I will test today.
