Programming Talk groups for CS 700

[Jimbo695]

Hello folks. Just picked up a CS 700. Downloaded firmware and software, viewed YouTube videos, started programming. I'll be dipped if I can figure out where and how to program individual talk groups for each repeater. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Talk Groups are created separately from repeaters. They are then assigned to each repeater's time slots as needed. IOW, they are "shared" among all repeaters as necessary.

They should be your first entries in the Contact List as shown below. This is for a CS800, but the software and programming scheme is the same for the CS700. In case you're wondering, the reason I have "DMR" as a prefix for all of the TGs is so that they will be grouped together in the Contact List:

Once you have the TGs set up, then you will assign them to each repeater in the Zone List as needed:

This is great. Thanks. So the talk group number goes into the "Call ID" column. That's what I was missing.

You are most welcome. Kudos to you for trying to learn how to program your CS700 instead of just loading a pre-built code plug.
