SCANNING THE AIRWAVES SINCE 1987
I apologize in advance if this question has been asked. Seems to me that I did see it addressed in another thread (I've read so many of the 800 related threads over the past few days), but a search was unable to find it.
Did some programming via the software yesterday, and in one scanlist (#8), I only had two tgid's (the mobile and base tgid's for our local cab company). I had them set to record when active, and everything was going well.
Fast forward to this morning, and I decide to import that entire system (via the SD card in the radio) into another scanlist (#12). Since Friday night / Saturday morning is a busy time for the cab company, I decided to "park" on scanlist #8. Imagine my surprise when I find #8 is empty, and the two tgid's for the cab company in #12 are set to record. I went into the scanlist via the software and "moved" those two id's back to scanlist #8 and all is well again.
So here is my question...Was it just a glitch that caused that to happen, or when importing from the library, will the scanner overwrite / erase a scanlist if it contains any information from that system already stored in another scanlist?
Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide.
Other than this minor "issue," I'm loving my new 800 so far. It performs just as well as my PRO-106, and in at least one instance so far, it exceeds it. Got a lot more "experimenting" to do before I pass final judgment on it, but so far it definitely is living up to all the hype I've read about here.
