ofd, thanks for that reply. I'm still trying to wrap my feeble mind around this scanner after 2 years. I'm noticing that when I scan QK1, Fauquier, the 996 displays what I think is the link channel(I'm not sure that's what it's called, but I'll call it that for now) 853.7125 and of course when a signal comes in, it switches to the ID and group number. When I scan QK2, Culpeper, it displays 853.300 for the 'link channel'. The top display shows either 'Fauquier County' or 'CulpeperCnty' for QK1 or QK2. What I'm thinking is the 'Groups' are under either system (it's probably a linked system, they have a 'shared' group as you can see), thus, even though I've tried to set separate 0-7 groups under Fauquier and 0-7 Groups under Culpeper, the scanner can't tell the difference. I'll need to do some further investigation as it scans and displays groups. It also appears to me that the Rapahannock groups are just another set of groups under the Fauquier system, I can't QK Rapahannock by itself, I have to QK Fauquier and turn off all the other groups except the 3 Rapahannock. Does this make any sense?
What my objective is, is to be able to scan just the Fauquier, just the Culpeper, and just the Rapahannock, but I'm not sure it's possible without some serious assignations of the QK's. Maybe if I get this one straightened out I can figure out the VSP STARS, but I see it's a P25 system. I'll keep the VSP until I sort the MOT2.
I did work with a trunking P25 system when I was working, but this scanning is not what it was made for. It's much simpler when you just assign groups to radios and groups can't hear each other unless they switch to the other group, if it's on the radio.
Can someone explain what the M82C means? That may help clear the fog.
I also live near the border of the Fauquier/Rapahannock counties, so there may be some overlapping of signals in the system because of my location? If I were closer to Warrenton, the Fauquier county seat, it would probably be different.
