BCD436HP/BCD536HP: 2 questions

[Dispatrick]

I. I notice if i enter the control channel of a trunking system into direct entry I dont hear anything except the DAT appears in the bottom right of screen. what do I turn on, or off, so that I can actually hear the data sound of the trunked system on the control channel? I like to hear the noise so i can gauge by ear the strength and hearing the sound also helps me recognize the type of system

II. in a favorites list how i browse just the groups i have avoided? when I go to my avoids to unlock something i have to scroll thru all of the conventional channels that i have avoided just to get to what i want to unlock.

I have figured out the answer to my second question, however I'm still curious about the 1st question.

thanks!

In answer to your first question at this time you cant listen to the data channel.

1) Program the frequency into a channel, set as analog.

UPMan, of course, has the right answer. It'd be ideal if you could have the radio ID the system type/flavor when at least in freq search mode, but alas not at this time.

PGMAN, kinda surprised at your avatar - thought I was looking at one of my own posts from years gone by. Glad to see someone else is getting use out of it.
