TGID Hold

[AZ165]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I could not find the answer. I am wondering if there is a way to select a specific talk group to hold on. For example, Zone 1/Knob 1 is programmed with all TGIDs for a specific agency. A TGID voice message is received and I press hold to lock onto that talk group. Now, I want to switch to a different TGID in the same zone/knob, but I don't see the ability to. The way I have gotten around this for now, is to program individual TGIDs into their own knob. Is there a way to then scan each knob? P25 system.

AFAIK there is not - you have to wait until there is activity on the TG and then pounce on the Hold button. Not ideal.

You can't scan trunking knob positions, but you could have one setup for all talkgroups and others setup for individual talkgroups...

That’s what I figured. Thanks for confirming.

You'll need to wait until there's activity on that TG, and then hold on it. You can't scroll through them like on a scanner.

I wish they would add a Talkgroup hold option where you could set a timer where the TG holds for 2 or 3 seconds before it scans again

There is Tab d8 talk group hold timeout set it for a time you desire and the pager scans again

Can only be set in one-minute increments. Also check TGID Hold Timeout in tab 7 Device Function Setting to allow in-pager configuration via Main Menu, Function Settings. You'll want the ability to change this on the fly should there be significant activity on the channel being held (think police chase or working structure fire).

a minute would be too long I wouldn't want it set for longer than 5 seconds. Maybe they will come up with a fix in the future.
