Monitor Talkgroups without Trunking Option (XTS 5000)

[rogress]

I have an XTS5000 without the trunking option.

So, in CPS, I did the following:
- added some talkgroups to the ASTRO Talkgroup List - 1
- added the voice channels in 7 different conventional personalities
- for each conventional personality, under the ASTRO tab, set Rx Unmute Rule to Selective Squelch
- for each conventional personality, under the ASTRO Talkgroup Options tab
--- enabled Talkgroup
--- Selection Type = Strapped
--- Talkgroup List 1
--- Set the Talkgroup ID to desired talkgroup
- Finally, set those 7 voice channels to a scan list.

For monitoring that single talkgroup, it seems to work fine.

If I want to monitor more than one talkgroup, it appears that I would have to re-enter those 7 voice channels into 7 more conventional personalities and assign the other talkgroup, and scan all of them.

Does anybody have a better way to monitor more than 1 talkgroup on an XTS without the trunking option?

how do you know the radio don't have the trunking option? my guess is you need the System Key to program the radio for said Trunking Non-Affiliation??

The model I purchased does not have the trunking option, so I am playing around with this work around, even though its not a great solution.

This model has these features:
