I have the following dilemma and could use others advice and expertise!
I’m not sure how to arrange my "systems" and "talkgroups" on my 246 for scanning TPS.
The 4 options as I see it:
1: Setup a single "system" with all primary and alternate control channels for the 4 main towers in Toronto with each grouping of divisions IE, Group 1 (11/12/13/14 Div).....group 2 (51/52/53/54/55)...ETC in its own "talkgroup".
2: (Suggestion from a forum member!)
Setup 4 separate “systems” each with a specific primary and alternate control channel for a corresponding tower IE, “system1”= North Tower “system2”= East Tower…and so on for the 4 main towers and duplicate all of the “talkgroups” in each of the “systems”.
The thinking behind this is that if you move around the city you might lose pieces of conversations if for instance you went with option 1 ware by your scanner would associate and lock on to one tower and you might lose conversation if a car is on the boundary of two towers.
3: Setup 5 “systems” each representing the clusters of divisions that exist in the TPS IE, the “teens” 11/12 ETC, 50’s, 30’s…ETC, and set specific primary and alternate control channels for each of the 5 based on what tower they would be closest too.
4: Same idea as #3 but include all 4 primary and alternate control channels for each of the 5 “systems”.
I hope I made sense and appreciate your advice!
