If you programmed in the TGID's it should ID SCAN. If it is ID SEARCH press and hold trunk until it says ready to ID SCAN. ( caps reflect what would be seen on the screen no yelling intended. :wink:

You programmed the talk groups in right?

Or are you just monitoring a control channel?Boo!-Poltergeisty :-0

 

[blacker]

well i have put all the talk groups in that i wanted and i set up 3 banks.. 1 for fire 1 for ems and 1 for police.. and now what i want to do is only listen to them talk groups on each bank and not the ones i dont want..
so what im saying is i only want it to go to the talk groups i have put in for each bank... is that possible?

 

[poltergeisty]

So you want to hear one talk group at a time? Just press manual repeatedly until you get the one you want.Boo!-Poltergeisty :-0

no what i want is like on bank 1 i got fire.. i want to hear only the fire talk groups and nothing else... and on my police banks only the police talk groups. etc

Then just program in those TG's

You need to be in ID SCAN mode for the scanner to pay attention to the TGID's you've entered. If the display shows ID SEARCH while scanning, press SEARCH to switch it to ID SCAN.

First, are you monitoring a digital trunked system?

Second, post the way you have it programed.

Example.******************************

Bank one.

[Channel 1] 866.998.......Control channel
[Channel 2] 866.777.......System frequency
[Channel 3] 867.676.......System frequency

Talk Groups

2222 -Fire A
1876 -Fire B
2020 -Fire C

------------------------------------------------------
Bank two.

[Channel 1] 865.767.......Control channel
[Channel 2] 866.112 .......System frequency
[Channel 3] 865.555.......System frequency

Talk Groups

3333- Police A
2455- Police B
7655- Police C


Bank three.

[Channel 1] 866.055.......Control channel
[Channel 2] 865.888.......System frequency
[Channel 3] 865.123 .......System frequency

Talk Groups

6570- State police A
4322- State police B
5432- State police B

Now if its programmed in this manner, while scanning press the decimal and it will switch between talk groups lists or your banks. Then select either the number for the talk group list to listen to or the number bank to listen to.

Example. ***************************

1234567890. This is the banks section.

1234567890. This is the talk group lists section.

So if it's in the talk group selection you will have 1-10, each number represents a talk group list. 1 could be your police, 2 could be fire and so fourth. This is how each bank is programmed.

Or you can program just one bank with the ten talk group lists in that bank. For example 1= All fire, 2= All police, 3= All of State police.

Make sure you remember this. Program control channels, program system channels. Then enter talk groups.

It's kinda hard to write how to do it. So you will have to read your manual and what is written here very carefully. :wink:

You do know each bank number and talk group list number can be turned on or off by pressing it once for on or once for off, right?

Sigh.... :roll:

He's trying to scan specific ID LISTS....

Per page 25 of the manual:

Press REVERSE until the scanner
displays “List” at the left side of line 3 in the display when it
has not stopped on a talkgroup or on the left side of line 4 if it
has stopped on a talkgroup. Then, press the number
corresponding to the ID list you want to turn on or off.

Whats that spoused to mean?

That manual is written awkward. You have to jump from one damn thing to the next just to find out what you want. All the while the digital sits there laughing it's ass off.

But I have to admit, I never had to use the manual that much. Just for reference.

When I first got my BC296d in the mail I just pressed menu and away I was. :lol:
