TDMA question

[Tim-B]

If I program talkgroups into a system that are listed as TDMA in the database but I do not know the slot number will the scanner automatially discover the slot number when the talkgroup is active? I do not see a column in the database for TDMA slot. I am talking about the TX WARN system that is mixed with standard P25 digital and some phase II TDMA talkgroups. Also is there a way to change the system type after it is already created?

It will, yes. The slot number is not static. It can change. As such it isn't pre-programmed.

Also is there a way to change the system type after it is already created?

No, but P25 Phase 1 and P25 Phase 2 systems are programmed exactly the same. There is no need to specify that the system is Phase 2 or that some TGs are TDMA.

Excellent, that answers everything, thanks.
