Priority Talkgroup Functionality on G4/G5

[WaveJam]

Hi All.

I have a G5 and have a channel setup with about 40 TG's. Of that 40, I would like to have one set as priority. I see the "Priority Talk Group ID" option in the channel settings. But that means I'm prioritizing all channels based on the order in the list. Highest on the list = highest priority. But... I only want the one channel prioritized and all remaining channels treated equal. Is that possible?

Thanks.

No. All or none.

No. All or none.

Bummer.. Thanks.

Similar issue as WaveJam: I have a list of TGs assigned to single knob position, however, I'm still hearing EVERY TALK GROUP using the P25 trunking system. I've even tried assigning a single TG to a knob position. Same result.

If it is not possible to monitor just one TG, or list..., then I just purchased a very expensive paperweight

In the Zone and Channel settings make sure you have the "Receiving Mode" set to TG-Scan and not TG-Monitor. I think thats the one you need. Could be wrong..

I can at least assure you that mine only scans the TG's I want, so I know its possible.

I also have one TG in one knob position it is a Harris P-25 system and I only hear that one group.
Like He said be sure TG scan, it does work.

Thank you very, very, very, (you get the point) MUCH for your input. Changing from "TG Monitor" to "TG Scan" did the trick. I've been programming scanners for 10+ years, but, without your insight, would have never thought "scan" actually means "monitor" a single TG on a pager. Go figure.

Good. Glad it worked. Yeah, the PPS is a nice interface but I disagree with some of the wording they used. I think the choice for this setting should be “TG-Scan” to scan the selected TGs, and “TG-Search” to find and pick up all TGs. Monitor and Scan seem too similar to me.
