Baofeng How to Program an * talkgroup

[davidqualls]

When looking thru the frequency database, I find a few of the DMR listing show an * for the talk group. In my DM-1701 I have to give the Digital Contact a number, even If I do it manually thru a CSV it puts a 0 in the talk group.

What is the proper way to attack this?

Thanks

David

Not sure that I understand your question/issue. Example???

Just for instance, this is the entry in the frequency database

453.51250

458.51250

WQBB947

RM

CC 8 TG * SL 1

Plumervile PD

Police

DMR

Law Dispatch

The TG is * where most of the entries look like this

453.51250

458.51250

WQBB947

RM

CC 8 TG 15 SL 1

Plumer PD Talk

Police Talk

DMR

Law Talk

The talk group is 15, which is what I would put in my Digital contacts as the Digital ID. If I use the import/export function and manually program my csv file with the * in the talkgroup, it defaults to 0. And I know that is not correct, but I have no Idea what to put in the TG.

An asterisk in the RRDB listing indicates a wildcard. It means that the actual value wasn't identified and/or submitted. If your radio doesn't allow for wildcard values, you'll need to determine the TGID before you can program it.

Thanks for the Info, trial and error time.

If you don't know the talkgroup, you can use the Digital Monitor (or similar) search feature of your radio, or perhaps a software application like DSD, to find the talkgroup ID. If your radio can't do that, you'll have to rely on local sources to determine the information. A request in the Arkansas forum here on RR might yield an answer for you.

I do have the monitor feature... Thank you.
